Hi all.

I found a lump on the left side of my neck (just under my ear lobe) last year. I went to the doctor and she wasn't concerned, that was that and I was made to feel I was worrying over nothing. It is still there now and has grown in size and a lot easier to feel than it was before. It is a hard lump that doesn't move and aches after I've been feeling it. I also have a few little rubbery ones on the back of my neck which I can sometimes feel when I move my neck. I've experienced night sweats but not consistently. Has anyone else experienced night sweats? We're yours consistent? 
I saw a doctor today who was more interested and has referred me for an ultrasound. Can someone inform me what happens during the ultrasound? Will they tell me there and then if there is something to worry about? 
I am trying to think positive but I am really worried.

Thank you in advance, Beth. :-)
