Lymphoma ???

6 weeks ago a large lump appeared spontaneously in my neck, after a week I called my GP who diagnosed either a cyst or swollen gland through a telephone consultation... 3 weeks later it was still there so contacted GP again who seen me, she was unsure of what it was but ruled out what previous GP has said. She put an urgent referral to ENT , had that appointment today and consultant has said it could be Lymphoma or brachial cyst  he inserted a neee into the lump to see if fluid came out which would make him think it was a cyst... no fluid only blood he said he is sending me for a scan and should get an app within 2 week ... any advice welcome 

  • Welcome to the forum Mumto3kiddies although I'm sorry about the worries this lump is causing.

    Hopefully you won't be waiting long for the scan but I just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed for good results.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in a similar position will offer their support and advice to you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses then you can give them a call next week on 0808 800 4040 between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
