Hi all, 

I'm just looking for some advice really, im 24 years old, female & I have a small pea sized lump on the left side of my neck. I documented this on the 3rd of December 2020 after thinking it was some sort of bite, slowly it's got a little bigger and harder to touch. I finally plucked up the courage to see my doctor today who wants to keep an eye on it to see if it grows. My family has a lot of history of cancer so I'm extremely anxious and kind of want answers as soon as possible. The thought of having anything serious wrong scares the living daylights out of me due to seeing family members go through it. I haven't long lost my dad to lung cancer so my anxiety is through the roof. Im just wondering if anyone has shared a similar experience or any advice would be greatly appreciated. I haven't told family as I don't want to worry them after all they have lost recently so this is the only place I can find some answers. 
thanks for reading xx
