Hello
I'm freaking out. Iv had a lymph node up in my neck since 2012. I went to the doctors back then and they ran blood tests. All was fine.
Iv been back numerous times in the years and they just do blood tests all fine.
Last year September I went back again as it now and again aches and really bugs me and worry's me! I had bloods again and an ultrasound. Bloods again fine and ultrasound showed larger lymph node but nothing worrying with shape.
it's now becoming achey again and worrying me again! So went to doctor today. He said it's very unusual for it to of been up since 2012! The only doctor that's ever said that to me! he has now sent me an urgent referral to ENT. I'm absolutely *** myself. I have no other symptoms other than I feel pressure in my throat where the lymph node is up. It's under my ear!
Iv just had a baby and I'm absolutely beside myself it could be cancer and I'll be leaving her behind. I keep crying
anyone had a lump for 8 years and it be normal ?! I'm thinking 8 years maybe it's nothing serious or I would of known about it by now?!
& the other part of me says 8 years where else has the cancer spread.
I'm also wondering if it's not the node but a tumour or something behind? But would of they picked that up in ultrasound a year ago?... this lump is not visible from the outside.
im only 28 otherwise always fit and healthy.
