Hi, I had an ultrasound done yesterday as have lump at rear of my neck, which is my cervical lymph node, the person that did the ultrasound said it is of normal structure, my question is that if it was cancerous would it be seen by ultrasound?

Hi Echob,
An ultrasound can be used to diagnose conditions including cancer. Sometimes further tests are needed if the doctor deems it necessary. If you have any further medical questions it would be best to discuss with your doctor.
I hope you don't have to wait too long to find out your results.
Wishing you all the best,

Hi Ben
Thanks for your reply, I'm optimistic that it's just a fatty lump, I see my consultant in 3 weeks.
