Small lump on neck

I'm currently waiting to see an EMT specialist, my GP has put it through as urgent. I have swollen neck and a small pea size lump that's under the skin; you can't see it but I can feel it. It mooves around when I touch it? Could this be anything to worry about? 
I have always suffered from swollen Glands and tonsillitis. 
the only other symptoms I have is the swollen glands and now and again get some night sweats. My bloods all came back healthy. 

but I am very worried . 

Any advice would be great x

    Hello cmck, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long to see the EMT specialist. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting to find out more. It is good news though that your bloods all came back healthy. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,

    Hey lovley. No advice, but I'm in a similar situation. I've been having some symptoms over the last few months including persistent itchiness, night sweats, shortness of breath and bone pain, went to the doctor and she found 4 lumps in my neck. She referred me yesterday (22nd) to a Haematologist, I already received my referral letter today (23rd) so hopefully I can get some peace of mind. How are you feeling in your self? Sending you lots of love and wishes!

    Hey.  Sorry I have only just came back on here and saw your reply, 

    I went to see the emt specialist and from there he out cameras down my throat ect and I was referred to get an ultrasound after that. Got my results back a few weeks later to say it was all clear. 
    what about you? How are you doing? X
