Lumps in neck - very worried!

Hi all

I've done the worst, and Dr. Googled my 2 (possible 3 neck lumps) following a gp referall for an US. I get my results from this tomorrow, and tbh im praying for a biopsy just to fully put my mind at rest. Dr. Google needs banning!


I am completely asymtpomatic, feel fine, but noticed the lumps have been there for a while. One is 1.7cm, the other is 8mm but after the US i feel i've noted another lump under my ear (Not sure if im imagining it!).


Absolutely petrified, as i have a little 5 year old girl and wife who im the soul earner. Holding onto the rarity of lymphoma, and my complete lack of any other symptoms. GP didnt seem overly concerned either, the US was a "put our minds at rest" type of thing.

 

 

  • Hello Nayweiser, 

    Sorry to hear about the health concern that you've had recently. I hope that your appointment today brought some answers and reassurance. 

    You're so right - Dr Google needs a life time ban! If you do have any questions following on from your results that you think we may be able to help with you're welcome to post in our Ask the Nurses topic area. 

    Best wishes,
