Hi everyone!

I just thought I would jump on here to see if anyone has experienced a hard lump/swelling in the neck? 

I had a follow up appointment yesterday for an operation I had last year (really rare sinus problem) and I mentioned to the consultant I had this lump just below my earlobe/jaw (I believe the technical name is the partoid gland!) which I first noticed last November. He now wants me to have an urgent scan and said depending on what that shows, I could then possibly have to have a biopsy. The only thing he said was that it could be one of two things:

1) A salivary gland issue

2) A lymph node

Of course I consulted Dr Google when I left the hospital and it's given me the worst case scenarios!!! I have recently had lots of bloods done because I'm tired all the time and everything (apart from low Vit D) has come back within the normal ranges. 

I'm a born worrier anyway and I am now scared stiff! Has anyone else been through the same experience?

TM.
