Swelling in front of neck and left side

Hi, last week I noticed some swelling in the front of neck going to the left also. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm worried sick, I've googled my symptoms and it keeps pointing to cancer. I've been to see the go who has referred me for blood tests and an ultrasound scan. 
thanks

  • Hi Ke_Lo,

    Sorry to hear about the worry you're going through with neck lump. I am in exactly the same position. Discovered neck lump end of Oct. Had bloods to check thyroid which came back clear and then had referral for ultrasound and biopsy. I totally convinced myself it was cancer, though I don't know what to think now. The consultant has made an apt. for 10 days time to discuss results, as opposed to sending diagnosis via mail. Am hoping this is a good sign?!

    Best of luck with your tests, I hope it goes well. My advice is to stay away from Dr. Google in the meantime, though easier said than done!
