Possible Lymphoma?

Hello there,

ill get straight to the story. I noticed a lump in my neck around April time so booked myself to see my GP. They said it was probably from a infection and gave me Amoxicillin - the antibiotics did nothing to clear the lump. I’ve visited three times since and they still continue to fob me off saying it’s just an infection which will take time to go. 

I went last week complaining of headache, ringing in one here (left side the side of the lump), dizziness and feeling aches and what not in my neck and lower back. She felt the neck lump, armpits and groin and only found the one lump in my neck and told me to see her again in a MONTH. I’ve had no scans done, no blood tests, nothing other than antibiotics months ago. 

The ringing in my ear doesn’t stop, the aches come and go throughout the day and I am now getting sharp pain in my chest as well as stomach pains, often feeling constipated. 

Any ideas on what I should do? Should I go to my go for a 5th and demand a biopsy etc to determine what’s causing this lump to stick around? The headache and ear ringing 24 hours a day is really getting me down and the doctors don’t seem interested in the slightest.

Are ringing ears the symptoms of lymphoma? I’ve searched and searched and can’t see anything of it being related. Sorry for the long post, after six months of being robbed off I’d thought I’d join on here and get some advice from people who know a wee bit more than my gp...shouldn’t be too difficult.

many thanks

  • Sorry to hear everyone seems to be ignoring you to start with. I'm hoping you are okay now and everything was resolved. I'm going through the same problem, I've had a large lump ( 1 inch wide )  under both ear lobes behind my jaw. They continue to grow after 9 weeks now, in 2 days I'm having an x-ray or scan. I anticipate that i  will only get answers if they do a biopsy . It's all taking soooooo  long , and I'm considering going private now. Ridiculous. Two gps  have agreed I have growing lumps, and both said they didnt know what it was. Seems like they don't really care.....Lol. can't wait much longer cos it's pressing on my nerves, causing alot of discomfort, neck aches, nausea and migraines. I'm in UK, but the NHS is struggling and cutting back financially, so I don't have much confidence in them. 

    Good luck everyone. I would love to hear how you are all doing now ........
