lump on neck ... no other symptoms

My partner has noticed tonight that he has a hard lump on the right side of his neck which is closer to the bottom of this neck rather than top. 

 

I am just really worried and panic easily when it comes to stuff like this (especially when the only thing google says is the C word)

 

He says it doesn't hurt, but is tender when we press down on it. Years ago I had a lipoma removed and that was soft and moveable. This doesn't feel the same. 

 

I was just wondering if anyone could give me any late night advice.

 

Thank you :) 

  • Welcome to the forum Chloh95 although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined us.

    If your partner is worried about the lump he's found it would be best for him to book an appointment with his GP as they are the only ones who can say whether this is any cause for concern.

    I hope the tips we have on our website will help your partner get the most out of their appointment and that it won't be too long before you get some answers and peace of mind.

    Kind regards,
