I have a painless lump on my neck which i first noticed in November 2021. I had an ultrasound scan a few weeks later and was told that it looked like an enlarged lymph node and told to come back for another scan in a month. At the 2nd scan i wad told that the lump looked abnormal and i needed a biopsy which they did there and then. I was told that the lump could either be a lymph node or a cyst but they weren't sure which. The biopsy came back as inconclusive so i was sent for a CT scan. Unfortunately this also didn't give a clear indication as to what the mass might be, or whether it is benign or malignant.

My consultant then said that I would need surgery to remove the lump, and it would be sent off for analysis to get a diagnosis. In the mean time he suggested a PET scan, which i had a few days ago. I was just wondering what the PET scan might show? Also, does anyone have any experience of having so many tests which have had inconclusive results? It's been such a rollercoaster of emotions and really hard to deal with at times.
