I was out on a 2 ww 4 weeks ago because of a large lump in my neck which the ENT consultant said was my submandibular gland , he arranged for needle biopsy and to see him the week after to discuss.
i had the scan a week after and the radiologist said she could not see the lump on the scan but she could see my submandibular gland and this was normal size and not blocked .
min the meantime I've had a call from my gynaecologist to say they need to get me in to do biopsies ASAP due to a thickened endometrium and the scan was from Jan but she cannot list me until the lump in my neck is thoroughly investigated .
so I rang the head & neck dept to advise I need to know what happens next as it's holding up other issues Including much needed therapy for a herniated disc in my neck pressing on the nerves in my spine .
the dept have said they have no appointments and have told me for the last 2 weeks they would print my scan off & give it the doctor .
this lump is around 3-4 cm big and I have nightly sweats , severe back & hip pain , face and jaw pain and a pain in my left rib cage .
i have severe fatigue and have vertigo and nausea almost daily .
this has been going on around 6-8 months now and it was only when the lump appeared in my neck and didn't go I called the doc .
did anyone else go to have a biopsy but something else was done instead ? I'm desperate for them to tell me what's happening as I'm in so much pain from other things .
Feels like my life is on hold and all I get from the secretary is he is really busy , he's had my results for 2 weeks now and not looked at them .
