Hard lump on base of skull - referred for ultrasound

Hi all,

I posted last week I think about having a lump and all my symptoms that are coming with it. 

Ive got a lump on what feels like my occipital lymph node right hand side about 1cm, I've got dizziness, headaches and forgetfulness. Along with joint aching. 

My GP decided she needed to see me, so this evening she decided I needed an urgent ultrasound.

My blood work has come back normal which is great news and I've been alot calmer about it all. 

But it's just sort of hit me now. 

The doctor didn't know what it is and agreed it was hard and immobile.

One minute I'm okay and the next my head is panicking. I'm sure everything will be okay but I can't think straight.

Just needed somewhere to get it out and talk about it all.

  • That's great the blood test results came back clear Dropjupiter although I'm sorry that still leaves you with the uncertainity of not knowing what this is yet.

    Waiting for tests (and the results) is always tough but hopefully the ultrasound will be able to provide some answers. I hope this information I've found about urgent referrals will help calm your mind slightly whilst you wait.

    All the best,
