Hi, firstly I'm sorry to bother you all as this is probably nothing.  About 3 months ago I discovered 3 strange lumps knitted together on the side of my neck, they are maluable and about 2 inch in diameter.  They are located where my lymp nodes would be.  I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and a nurse checked me out and discovered a number of other small pea sized lumps trailing down from the larger lumps and also some in my groin.  I have a FBC but that has all come back within normal limits along with confirmation I am in menopause.

I have been referred to the Head & Neck unit under the 2 week window to check whether it is cancer.  However, I was wondering if it could be because of my menopause, could this be the case, I am getting hot sweats at night, not profusely though and not hot in the day. My arms at the joints do ache alot laterly and I am getting fatigued in the afternoons which is not usually me.  I am worried and eager to have an answer, and I know on Friday I should know more from the hospital, but I would appreicate it if someone could perhaps tell me would those lumps be normal? and if anyone would know what is the process when I got to my visist at the hospital on Friday.  I dont want to over castrophise this situation if it is nothing, but it is worrying me a little.
