Lump in neck

I recently found a lump on the right side of my neck just under the jaw bone. It is not sore to touch and about the size of a pea. It is quite hard to touch.

I also have pain on my thigh.

I have also been getting night sweats, have no appetite  and notice I bruise easily. 

In my head I have lymphoma as have all the symptoms. 

Im seeing my GP on Fri11th June. Im absolutely terrified.

I have read quite a few on the posts and feel that people will know what its like to feel this way. 

 

  • Hi Peter and welcome to the community.

    I'm sorry about the symptoms you've been contending with but I'm glad you have an appointment booked with your GP to discuss this in more detail.

    Hopefully they'll be able to put your mind at ease but as you've said in your post, many of our members have contended with similar issues so will understand what you're going through at the moment and will hopefully be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, we're thinking of you and wishing you all the best for next week.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

    Hi Steph

    Thanks for your reply.

    Not knowing anything is horrendous and time seems to slow down. 

    Will see what my GP recommends.
