Swollen lymph node in neck

Hello 

I have a swollen lymph node in my neck which I also have ear pain & tingling/numbness also on the same side. I have no other symptoms & was given antibiotics which didn’t make a difference. 

I have been referred & waiting on mri and ultrasound but I have never felt so fearful like I am right now. 

has anyone else had these symptoms? 

  • Hi Kc171 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms but you did the right thing by going to your GP to get this checked out.

    Waiting for tests is always an anxious time but our members are here for you Kc171, and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and share their experiences and advice.

    In the meantime, we'll have our fingers crossed you won't have to wait too long for your MRI and ultrasound and that the results bring good news when they come through.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
