Hi, I've literally just been through this and had my ultrasound yesterday and thankfully got the all clear. I also was beyond scared and wondering what else it could be, but didn't seem to have characteristics of anything else other than cancer! I'm a single mum to 2 young children and had been going out of my mind. I had also had a sore throat for weeks which added to my anxiety. I had a camera up my nose (not pleasant!) And he asked if I drank much water, I said no, he said the sore throat is most likely down to dehydration! He said the lump because it was close to my dry itchy scalp (has been itchy for months) was like down to it swelling due to nearby irritation or infection. He then said we'll ultrasound to check which they did an hour after. The sonographer did a really good check but said it's swollen but normal! She also said it looks like it's swollen from a past infection but never went down and may never do. She checked all my neck and throat which was fine. My blood tests also came back clear. I'm now going to try and look after myself a bit better! Really hope all goes ok with your ultrasound, let us know how you get on x
