Lumps on neck

my husband has had lumps in his neck for six months. He had a blood test and his keratin levels are low and his liver enzymes are high. He has now got to have a biopsy. Should I be worried? Appreciate any help or advice thank you very worried wife

  • Hello Lollipop12

    I'm sorry to hear that your husband has had some health concerns over the past few months and that, following recent blood tests, he's now waiting for a biopsy. It's understandable that you have some questions and concerns about what this all means. 

    It's difficult for anyone to say with certainty what may be causing his symptoms at this point. Hopefully he won't have to wait too long for the biopsy and the results will give the doctors the information they need to give you some reassurance. 

    This period of waiting for tests and results can be really difficult. Sometimes it can help to talk through any concerns and questions you have with someone and I wonder if you might find it helpful to chat with one of our nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that your husband has some answers soon Lollipop12. Do keep in touch and let us know how he gets on. 

    Best wishes,
