Neck lump

I have had a lump in my neck now for a couple of months,no pain,until last week when it felt very sore,was more enlarged and painful under the tongue when I ate,anyway saw my doc on Friday,took bloods and has referred me to the cancer clinic within 2 weeks, I am not coping very well,full blown anxiety, the lump is still there but seems to reduce and then gets bigger when I eat,also my head feels stuffy like after a cold, also had the flu jab last weekend, anyone got the same symptoms 

  • I've kind of got the same. Hard lump behind ear..no other symptoms. From what I've read. Most people get the 2 week referral for any kind of lump that's been there a while so try to take some comfort in that, but easier said than done. 

    I've had mine 3 weeks and I just don't get where its come from, and just keep thinking worse case scenario x

  • For me, I have no other symptoms but the appearing of the neck lumps, I’ll contact the GP after Christmas, but since I discovered the first lump/ swollen gland on my neck, now I have several more on the back and side of my neck area, they are small but not hard, and some of them can be painful when I press them, and obviously, I’ve been worrying and stressing myself much.
