Good morning.

I'm trying to put my mind at ease and stop worrying.

For the past 10 weeks I have had a movable hard lump getting bigger over time and now slightly larger than a pea under my jawline on the left side of my face. There isn't any pain but sometimes the area around it swells a little and sometimes i have to strain to open my mouth fully. I haven't been unwell or had any infections or illnesses.

I spoke to my GP 2 weeks ago and she felt the lump and checked either side of my neck and jaw and said she wasn't sure about it but shouldn't be too worried about it but she thought it was best to refer me for a hospital appointment with the maxofacial team.

Advised that if it gets worse or changes to come back to surgery.

2 days ago I was self examining my neck and I have found a second lump on the opposite side just smaller than a pea that wasn't there before. 

I have asked for another appointment but it's not for another week.

I have done the worst possible thing and asked Dr Google and everytime it comes up with the C word. 

I'm sorry worried and anxious thinking the worst and can't explain or think what else it could be. 

I know im 100% overthinking things but is there any different explanations that could cause them.

Any and all advice would really be helpful.

I'm a 38yr old male no current medical conditions apart from having 1 kidney due to donating 1 of them to a family member.

Thank you 

Rich
