Lump on neck - good outcome

Just a message to hopefully reassure someone.

So, November 2020 I found a lump on the side of my neck, googled it as you do and I seriously thought I was seriously ill. I booked a doctors appointment and was told it was a swollen gland and it would go down in a few weeks (I had no infections). January 2021 I booked a further appointment and had full bloods down, chest X-ray (which all came back clear) and was booked in for an ultrasound. I went for a an ultrasound  today and was told the results straight away, luckily it is a gland and I was told it was nothing to worry about. I hope this message reassures someone as I really thought I had something serious.  

  • Hey Kirsty, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to the forum and to thank you for sharing your story with us.

    I'm really glad your tests came back clear and the lump was no cause for concern. We have many posts about lumps on this part of the body so I'm sure your experience will offer strength and encouragement to others going through this.

    Kind regards,
