Funnily enough I've spoken to my brother tonight and he has one in exactly the same spot on the opposite side of his neck/throat and has had it for over 10 years. He wasn't ill and had no other symptoms, said the GP wasn't concerned at all and its not changed since that time. He reckons his lump is bigger than mine and doesn't think I need to worry but can see why I am. That's what is causing me to worry as I can't put it down to anything. It has just appeared out of nowhere. Of course I'll keep you updated on how the appointment with the ENT goes

I have read that some people can just have various sized lymph nodes and just because the normal is 1cm and under doesn't mean its abnormal to be a bit larger. Weirdly enough my son has a lymph node that is easily felt in the exact same place as where I found the first one on my neck. He's just under 2 years old but random anyway.
