Hi,

i found a Neck lump about 11mm  (right submandibular salivary gland) about 5 weeks ago after a cold, although it may have been there longer.

The lump is rubbery and moveable, I was giving antibiotics in my local walk in clinic at the hospital 4 weeks ago (couldn’t get into my GP).

It did not disappear or get smaller, i contacted my GP and have since had blood tests which came back as satisfactory. I had an ENT appointment on the 28th of October and was given a U/S and FNA.

The consultant could not give me a definite date for the result but I rang ENT today and they stated, I now have an appointment on November the 23rd. This seems quite along time to wait for a FNA result to me, especially when I had it in my head it would be about 2 weeks after reading this online and my consultant said the results would take a week or 2. But I’m now struggling with the thought of having to wait such a long time (25 days since u/s scan & FNA), is there any advise anyone can offer in relation of how to get through this waiting time ?. 

Many thanks
