Lump in neck

Well the Thursday before I was going on holiday I had a fall at work 26th July. I hurt my coler bone and my shoulder. Had it checked out all ok. But then on Saturday the 28th I noticed a lump on my neck just under my ear. I thought it might be swollen glands. But it was only on my right side where I fell the other day. Went on holiday the 29th did not think much about it. But after a 2 week it was still there. Got home on the Wednesday 16th. Went straight to doctors he did not know what it was. All I got was it is about 5cm. Put me on fast track. Still waiting and lump is still there now end of August so been there for a good number of weeks. Worryed yes as I have a young family. Anybody get any thoughts on what it could be apart from the one am thinking of. 

 

  • Hello Robert,

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. You have done the right thing in getting this lump checked out by a doctor. It sounds like your doctor is being thorough in ordering further tests and I hope that you soon find out what has caused this lump and whether it is related to that fall you had at work in July or not.

    I hope you won't have to wait too long as it is really hard not to worry when waiting for results. Try not to think too much about it until you have the appointment and to keep busy and distracted with your little ones.

    We'll be thinking of you and hoping that it all goes well for you. If you get a minute, please drop by and let us know what you find out. 

    Best wishes,
