Hi from about mid December I noticed what feels like a swollen / lump on the right side of my neck, got sent for ultra sound, Recieved an appointment for ENT for 6th febuary, I returned to doctors Friday  past as since I got the letter I can't eat nor sleep with worry, crying 24/7, he went into the scan results and the lymph nodes came back normal but picked up 2, "warthin tumour" type lumps on tmy  face/cheeks but no explanation of the swollen neck he said, I'm now petrified whats going on, I've 100% convinced my self it's cancer, and I can't face leaving my kids :'(

  • Hi Danni and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about your swollen neck/lump and for the worry this is causing.

    So many of our members will know what you're going through at the moment, so you are not alone, and hopefully it won't be long until some of them stop by to share their experiences and advice.

    I hope this article on how to cope with waiting for news, and these tips and advice given for managing anxiety will help you whilst you wait but if you feel it may help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I know the next 3 weeks are going to be very tough but we are here for you Danni and will have our fingers crossed your ENT results bring good news when the time comes.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
