I went along today for an ultrasound scan having found two raised lymph nodes in my neck and experiencing itching legs. They did a thorough check of the concerning lymph nodes, even checking one just in front of my ear when I asked if they could, which was very kind of them. The dr examining me told me that all the lymph nodes were benign, small, and not any cause for concern. This gave me great relief, however she then asked me if I ever have a sensation of something being in my throat when I swallow. In fact I do - I’d put it down to perhaps a tonsil stone type thing, as I’ve suffered with those before. She said it could well be this, but she could see a definite lump at the back of my throat that she wouldn’t ordinarily expect to see.

She’s referred me to ENT for them to check it but reassured me that it was nothing sinister and likely a cyst or tonsil stone. Of course now my mind goes to the worst! 

I guess I’m just wanting some support or reassurance that I can listen to the professionals and she wouldn’t tell me “there is nothing to worry about, this is a non urgent check” if she had any concerns about said lump being cancerous. It’s all just such a worry and I wondered if anybody had had a similar scenario happen to them?
