Lump on jawline

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. I have had a lump on my jawline for a couple of months. (Thought it was a swollen gland because I had a cold,) Went to the GP and they've sent me for an urgent referral to the maxifacial clinic. I have started to feel very unwell and the lump seems to be changing. My cousin sadly died 2 years ago with a very rare cancer in his saliva glands. My GP said my lump could indicate a stone in my salivary glands, but he needs to rule out something more sinister. I've only been waiting for the appointment a few days and I know it will be a fortnight. My concern is that my cousin died within 12 weeks and I starting to feel very unwell. Just really wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms. Thank you

  • I'm sorry for the worries the lump on your jawline is causing Cazzyjojo. It's understandable why the loss of your cousin would heighten your concern but fingers crossed your situation will be different from theirs. 

    The waiting is always tough but you are not alone as many of our forum members have been through this testing time and hopefully you'll receive some words of support from them soon.

    Wishing you all the best with your referral Cazzyjojo.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Steph, thank you so much for taking the time to respond. You must be kept very busy so I really appreciate it. I will let you know how I get on (if this appointment ever comes through!!) 

    Take care x
