Hi,

So I've had a painless lump under my jaw in the parotid gland now for 7 weeks. 2 weeks ago I was sent for bloods and put on the two week pathway. My bloods were clear and had an ultrasound last week. It was found I had an enlarged lymthnode that was 2cm under my jaw and they found a second enlarged lymthnode further down my neck that is 3cm that can't be felt or seen.

On Tuesday I ended up in a and e as I had started with pins and needles and numbness in my face. They did a head ct to look at the brain that was fine and said wait for my ENT appointment on friday.

Fast forward today I had an ent appointment and had a camera up my nose and down my throat which didnt show anything. I've now been referred for an MRI next week. 

Is this likely to be cancer or could it really just be a reactive lymnode and how long will it take to go down? It's been nearly 2 months now. This pins and needles in my face is really frustrating.

Has anyone else been in this situation? I think my because my bloods are clear and im only having night sweats a few times a week they aren't as concerned?
