Hard lump under chin

Hi

I'm Elizabeth, I'm 28

I noticed a hard lump under my chin (near the start of my neck  at the front) about 5 days ago. This came up very suddenly and doesn't move when touching it. It doesn't hurt but can feel slightly tender when I stretch my neck. I'm really worried as it's a hard lump and doesn't move. I have felt slightly out of breath today which is not normal for me. I was just looking for advice really. 
 

Thanks

  • Hi 

    I have had a lump like this for 8days now and I made contact with my GP on day 6... I was told to wait until day 21 until I contact again. The dr asked if there was any family history of cancer and there is my mum, grandparents, great grandparents, etc.  My anxiety is taking a beating and everyday I wake up counting what number day I’m on. It was not gone down in size and I’ve not been unwell at all. It feels the size of a ping pong ball and is noticeable to others. I’m so down and so worried that my mood/feeling of paranoia is affecting my two young girls. 

    I do hope that you have a good outcome from your situation but I guess I came to your thread to seek advice too!

     

    Fingers crossed!

     

     

  • Hiya, 

    I've seen your post on this thread, why has the GP told you to wait 21 days ! That is terrible ! I would demand to be seen... that is not right of them.
     

    I hope your ok.. ring the surgery again and demand another drs judgement xx

  • Try not to stress too much , lumps in the neck can be multiple things and not life threatening. But for the sake of your anxiety etc keep pushing for more help from the dr xx
