Neck Lymph Node

Hi everyone, 

Today i was put on a 2 week pathway for an ultrasound. Over the last 11 months I have had a sore throat, jut before my tonsils more on the roof of my mouth and it hurts to swallow in and off, my tonsils swell and I then struggle to swallow. Especially on the left, my lymph node is also swollen on the left and has been for the last 6 months, before this i cant really remember it going up and down, but now its not gone down, its a hard lump around 2 finger widths, its not moveable just below the edge of my jaw nearest my ear. (Near where you'd take your pulse) it can be tender when my thoat and mouth start hurting but then its just there. 

The dr think its could be cancer of a sort as my inflammation markers are also always raised for the last few years consistently. I do have a few auto immune issues 

Has anyone else had this?

  • Over the last few years ive had a few really random things happen like vasculitis and ive lived in chronic inflammation since the neck lump has been here over 6 months for definate but im not sure if its been longer or if its come and gone. Its scary when you just want to know if it is or isn't. I'm glad you're ok, im sure the operation will go well and I am glad its treatable. It's good you have a plan too x
