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

    I have just got back out of the ENT appointment. She felt the lumps under my jaw and on my neck. She stated that they are round and movable which is good and she was pleases I have no other symptoms. She checked mouth and throat, including the camera down the nose and was all clear. She is going to refer me for an ultrasound to check them properly and to have a FNA if they are concerned with them under ultrasound. She did say she thinks all will be fine but doesn't that doesnt really leave me any less worried. So I am just really hoping to get this scan over with now.

    Hope youre keeping well and all goes okay tomorrow sweetcheeks5 and Amy_1710. Please do come back and update here.
