I had a pea sized, painless lump on my neck, and I had other lumps come up and I was so scared, I was sure I had lymphoma. The Doctor said they were swollen lymph nodes and I've had the biggest one for over 2 months with mild abdominal pain and reduced appetite. I remember trawling through this forum looking for information desperately trying to find someone who had a neck lump and got a good result. I also googled my symptoms non-stop and terrified myself.

Today I had an ultrasound and I was so scared I was tearing up in the waiting room. After I had it the doctor said they didn't look suspect!! Then I had a follow up ENT appointment and he said he wasn't worried about them and they're quite common and they don't always go down. I'm still a bit worried but my mind is at ease. I told myself if I got the all clear I would post on here incase someone is going through the same thing I did. If you have a neck lump, definitely push to get it checked out properly just in case, but don't fret because its rare to have a cancer like lymphoma. It's more likely that you'll be absolutely fine! :)
