Hard large movable lymph nodes referral

Hi, so I've had 4 large hard lymph nodes for about 3 months now. I've got 1 under each side of my jaw and 1 on each of my neck. I haven't been ill in months, so today I visited the GP. The GP felt them and said they are alot bigger than the 1cm "normal" so he has referred me to see an ENT under the 2 week wait. I am very worried, but glad I will possibly get an answer, just praying for a good one.

Has anyone had similar? And what can I expect at the next appointment?

I thought I would just post here to keep updated and so that people in a similar situation could read.

Thanks all

    Hi there I just came from an ENT basically he will feel around your neck and chin and check your throat with a camera. And depending what he finds he will send you for more investigation I was sent for MRI as my left tonsil was slightly inflamed. They may send you for biopsy, CT scan ultrasound. He’ll ask you about history and just give you a good check around. The initial consultation is a breeze it’s the waiting’s round for results that kill. I’m still yet to hear about my mri you’ll soon get your appointment I was seen within 5 days of referal x

    Hey, thanks for clarifying things a bit more for me! The gp didn't really explain it to me, just that he was referring.  

    Hoping you get a good result from your MRI, please do keep me updated. Wishing you all the best x
