Lump behind ear and swollen lymph nodes

Hi all 

I discovered a large lump behind my ear which is fixed, about the size of a large grape, hard and not painful at all. It can also only be felt if I tilt my head back and to the side. It's been there about 10 weeks so I called my GP who has seen me this morning and discovered two other swollen lymph nodes, one in my armpit and one in my mouth, I had an mri 2 years ago for a lymph node that was raised on my collarbone and they said that it wasn't big enough to be of concern but it is still there. All these nodes seem to be on my left side. The GP has done me a two week wait referral to see ENT and one for the breast clinic. 
 

I've looked at classic symptoms of lymphoma and don't have anything else other than these raised nodes and a bit of a dry cough

i just wondered whether anybody else has had this and what the outcome was, and what I should/could expect at my hospital appointments? 
 

thanks in advance :)

    I'm sure some of our members will share their experiences and advice with you soon but whilst you wait I just wanted to share some information I've found on what to expect at a breast clinic appointment.

    I hope this helps but if you'd like to discuss this and/or your upcoming ENT appointment with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
