Hi there,

In October last year I found a small, 5p size lump just below my hairline on the left side of my neck. I wasn't worried but it was still there in Feburary so I visited my GP. Blood test came back fine, except for low iron deficency. The ultrasound got cancelled due to COVID-19. I called my GP two weeks ago and she's reffered me again. I was told the imaging department at the hospital are still reviewing whether the appointment is essential and they will let me know (I have no idea when this will be).

I also have a lump on the left side of my neck (which I think is where the deep cervical lymph nodes are) since I was 13,  I've just noticed it has grown/changed shape. It used to feel like a singular lump but now I am able to feel multiple and it has spread towards the bottom of my neck.

I haven't got many other symptoms, I am slightly tired and have been experiencing a sharp pain in the bottom of my neck. I also have pain when breathing but that isn't frequent enough to be much of a concern. I get headaches too, slight back pain but no night sweats, no loss of apetite etc. 

I'm wondering if I should push for an appointment and if it would be worth making my GP aware of the changes. I wasn't too worried until I noticed the change in the lump I've had since I was younger. I am 24 years btw!

Thanks for your help!
