Hi there I wonder if it's same as mine. I've been referred for an ultrasound scan. It's on my left collarbone but at the side closest to the middle and just under my throat.  It appeared suddenly. GP called it a soft tissue mass and said it's not a lymph node which is good. I'm really worried as then she found a breast lump and couldn't say if the two were related :(

Sorry to hear you're both going through some worrying waiting times, its not easy when you just want answers! I'm glad you managed to get it prioritised, for your own peace of mind, but as a bit of reassurance both lumps in neck and collarbone could be enlarged lymph nodes which although it can be a sign of cancer, is also commonly a sign that your body is fighting any kind of infection and can become raised when fighting a viral infection too, so please don't hit the panic button just yet. Stay away from Google and find lots to keep your mind busy in the meantime.  I really hope you get answers soon. Sending lots of hugs to you xxx

Hi  there if you are worried defiantly ask for a second opinion I was in the same boat 11 weeks ago I found a lump gp told me a swollen lymph node I hadn't been poorly or had any infection so I pushed it. After speaking to a 3rd gp I was referred to the ENT department within the 2 week referral then went for scans and biopsies. I got diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma on Tuesday been for a ct scan since and now waiting for a core biopsy which isn't for another 4 weeks it's been such a long road I hope you get sorted the waiting is the worst part.

Sorry I've just seen this!! I asked for a second opinion so my dr hurried it along through the urgent refferal route. So it's Monday the 29th.

It's alot more visible now than before but I don't know whether thats from me staring all the time.

I'm so sorry to hear about your news! Was yours a hard lump or just firm? My lump is firm and unmovable when my neck is up but when my neck is bent it's hard to feel.

I'm assuming that could possibly be where the lump is placed and my neck movement. 

Please keep me updated on how you get on wishing you all the best. X

Aww least you have a earlier appointment my lump is firm too my biopsy on the lump actually come back indeterminate but I'd had a biopsy on my thyroid at the same time i asked the man doing the ultrasound if it looked like i had anything to worry about he said the lump looked like a cyst he also said I had something called goiter. My results took over 2 weeks weeks to come back and I was informed over a phone call that the biopsy results were suspicious and my lump was indeterminate the lady said I'd need half my thyroid removed going forward. 3 weeks later I went to see the thyroid consultant thinking it was to speak about the surgery to be told infact my biopsy results had been upgraded and I  have papillary thyroid carcinoma my full thyroid will be getting removed. I had a ct scan Friday gone to stage it and I've got to have another biopsy done on the lump a core biopsy this time last time was a FNA. My next biopsy isn't until 12th September so I don't think I'll get surgery until October time as I have a holiday the end of September. The waiting is the worst is seems like a very long process I wish you all the best and hope you get good news if you need to chat that's fine and please also keep me updated on how you get on.

Honey, I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry this has happened.  Most times we worry ourselves needlessly, but this time your persistence paid off.  I think you will find that they look after you beautifully.  My cancer nurses always say that if they go silent, I am not forgotten, they are working for me behind the scenes.  I do hope & pray that everyone finds this is so.  These things occur for no apparent reason, and have to be coped with.  Life doesn't stop & wait for us to catch up!  Fortunately there is much online info & support available.  The best advice I received was KEEP OFF GOOGLE!  Very best wishes to you, and everyone.

Mine is very firm sometimes but also sometimes softer but I'm assuming it's maybe where it's placed, gosh!! I'm so pleased your persistence paid off! 

I'm so very sorry for all your going through though it must be such a scary time.

The waiting is definitely the worst part!!  The days feel like weeks, I have a 3 year old so she is keeping me busy at the moment.

Thankyou I appreciate that! Same to you please let me know how you get on! X

I've just had a letter I have to go in  on Tuesday to see my consultant looking like the ct scan is showing its spread so I'm gonna need a neck dissection to. My surgery has been booked for the 8th September the week I'm on holiday so I'll also be discussing this on Tuesday I had already told them I'm away but hey ho. Hope you keeping well .
