Hi hun,
Book your self a GP appointment straight away and have them refer you to have it checked out. 
 

Its better to be safe then delay it any longer. 
 

I'm currently under investigation for neck cancer very unexpectedly but I'd rather know and if it's nothing to worry about atleast it's piece of mind. 
 

I'm 29 so I completely understand the worry. 
 

Here if you ever need to chat x

Thank you for replying! I will phone my GP first thing tomorrow. I'm sorry to hear that, may I ask what tests you have had?

Thank you, likewise :happy:

No problem at all, I think the best thing in scary times like these are to have and offer support to each other. 
 

Mine all started with a couple of recurrent tonsillitis in October through to beginning of December. My GP wanted a throat swab & a blood test to make sure my tonsillitis had cleared up after taking 3 courses of antibiotics. Good news was the infection had gone but my right tonsil was still swollen and had 2 cyst looking lumps on it. I was referred to ENT (ears nose throat) consultants at hospital for further investigation. As you can imagine I was freaked out going from one extreme to another. 
 

I had an endoscopy which was a bendy tube fed through both nostrils and down the back of my throat with a camera & light on the end which takes a closer look and takes pictures. They said it was abnormal so I was then sent for an MRI scan. The MRI came back with a 2cm lump around my lymph node area. I was then sent back for another camera to have another look. After that visit the consultants booked me in for a biopsy of the tonsil and a biopsy of my neck lump. I had a tonsillectomy yesterday and they removed the tissue to be sent off and tested. Unfortunately the only way to biopsy tonsils is with general anaesthetic surgery :cry: so I'm currently in pain. I have another biopsy booked for the 8th of feb where they will use local anaesthetic and cut out the lump to then have that tested in the lab. This is where I'm currently at. I've had a few blood tests done as well but no ones really telling me much about them. 
 

It's all kind of happened out of the blue and it's a very stressful/ worrying time as you can imagine. Lots of people are telling me don't worry it's nothing but it's easy to say that when it's not them going through it. I'm all for positive vibes and hoping this isn't the big C word but I'm also preparing myself for the worst. Il update you when I get my results. 
 

I hope my story helps , please let me know how you get on too! Xx
