Swollen neck/lump

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has been through the same. 

I noticed a couple of weeks ago I had a lump/swelling on the right side of my neck just over from the front.

I went to the doctors and he said it looked fine and he's not worried, it seems to have came out of nowhere.

Hes referred me for a routine ultrasound and I've been told it could take up to 6 weeks to be seen .

I cant help but worry about it.

Thanks for reading

  • Hello 1995k

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health concerns. You did exactly the right things in seeing your GP and it's good to hear that they didn't have any immediate concerns about your symptoms. 

    We know that waiting for appointments and results can be a worrying time for many people. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your ultrasound. You could ring the hospital department and ask if they hold a cancellation list if you're able to attend an appointment at short notice. Sometimes this can help speed things up. 

    In the meantime, try to keep busy and remain positive. Don't search google looking for answers as it'll leave you feeling more worried. 

    I hope that you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi thanks for taking the time to reply.

    I spoke to the hospital and they said they have referred me as a routine ultrasound so I will be waiting around 6 weeks for a letter.

    I'm unsure whether to seek advice from another doctor as more of a second opinion to put my mind at ease further.

    I've tried to refrain from googling stuff but I will try trying to keep myself busy to take my mind off things. Thankyou
