18 months ago I saw my GP with a lump on my neck. He felt it and said it was probably a Lipoma. I had an Ultrasound scan on it in October 2022. The GP phoned me and said nothing to worry about, it's a Cyst and I'd get an ENT appt. I've waited 18 months nearly to get that appt in which time the lump has grown very large. I assumed they meant it was a Branchial Cleft Cyst. Anyhow had the ENT appt and evidently I should have been seen 18 months ago on the 2 week pathway !!!

I've had another Ultrasound and Biopsy 10 days ago. I've had a CT scan 4 days ago and a letter this morning with an MRI appt in 9 days time, which was originally set for the end of May.

Clearly I'm terrified that this is not just a cyst like I was told. Why would they bring the MRI scan forward by nearly a month if it wasn't. I don't think I can cope much longer with the anxiety and fear.
