3 lumps in neck

Hi all,

I hope someone can relate to this and help me. I have googled (I know I shouldn't!) but nothing seems to relate to what I have. In 2022, I found 2 lumps at the bottom of my neck (shoulder area) one above the other. I was obviously very worried and checked my whole neck for more but couldn't find any. The lumps were firm, (slightly) moveable, and not visable. Obviously worried, I went to see my gp who said she didn't feel much, but due to me being anxious ordered blood work and an ultrasound. Bloods came back fine, and ultrasound identified that they were 'nothing sinister just tiny little lymph nodes'. I check them occasionally, and they still haven't got bigger which is positive.

Fast forward to March 2023, I am out on a walk and feel a third lump same side (left) just above my collar bone. At the time it was tiny, but has since got a bit bigger, I would say a bit bigger than a bean. This one is very movable, hard, and just above my collarbone. Panicked again, I went to see my gp, who said she thought it was a part of my neck muscle, but ordered blood work as she could see I was very visable worried. I am getting my bloods next week, but I know even if it's clear it won't be reassuring, as bloods cannot identify sinister causes. 
 

I have no other symptoms, but I wm extremely concerned that there is now 3 firm lumps on the same side of my neck under the skin. I sort of feel like I'm being dismissed by doctors and this is actually concerning, having 3 lumps in one area is not normal i know this. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Lumps under the skin that are hard with no other symptoms?

Very worried. Thanks for reading!

  • I'm not saying that it is possibly the same cancer as I have been suffering from since the summer of lockdown, but maybe it may be of greater help to you if you hear my post diagnosis experience. I have got an incredibly rare form of non Hodgkin lymphoma, and even though I began having symptoms 2020, I wasn't diagnosed until end of last October, by which time I was stage 4 and told had it been just a few weeks later, they would be talking to me about palliative instead of immediately starting me on a high dose of the BV-CHP chemo. My first symptom was this horrendous pain Lowe back, I physically could not reach around to wipe myself in the toilet and at any given moment whilst walking my back became incapable of supporting my upper body. Then next, my rib had the sensation that it was broken, even though it wasn't, but I couldn't sit up in bed without being pushed, I couldn't cough and started feeling like I was slowly being suffocated. I then grew so tired the shortest walk was far too long, then by last yrs summer I developed lumps under my chin, on my sternum and my armpits, along with night drenched and day fevers, the Drs fobbed me off all along too. So even if none of this relates to you, all I will tell you for sure is if you  know deep down that there is something not right, and most likely making up excuses for it so you think you needn't worry, don't let anyone push you about and tell you it's all in your head, after all, it's not their body. By the way, back in the early days I was given my fair share of test results saying I was healthy. Xx
