Hi all,

I was referred to ENT 2ww due to a lump in my neck. I had tonsillitis about 6/7 weeks ago and found it then; but I assumed it was a swollen lymph node. 2 weeks ago I found it was still there so I booked a GP appointment (I nearly cancelled it because I thought I was being over dramatic).

The GP said it felt big (she put in my notes 4cm by 2cm) and referred me on a 2ww because of family history of head and neck cancer and my other symptoms - night sweats, severe fatigue and frequent infections (I’ve had 6 colds this year!)

A few days ago I found another lump on the side of my neck which has increased in size since I found it.

My appointment is next week. I’m not too worried as I’m sure they’re just swollen lymph nodes, but I was wondering if anyone knew the procedure of what will happen at the appointment. The GP mentioned an ultrasound - will they do that the same day or will it be another appointment? And if I need a FNA will that be the same day too?

If anyone has had a similar experience I’d really appreciate any advice and insight. 

thank you :)
