Waiting on biopsy appointment - lump in neck

Hi,

I noticed a big lump in my neck 2 month ago, I had blood samples, then an ultrasound scan. They said that it is benign, however they found another one on the left side of my neck that looks suspicious. It is very tiny (1.5 cm) and because of my family's history (my mom had a thyroid removed 7 years ago because they found suspicious nodes), I have a biopsy appointment booked on the 22nd. I'm extremely worried and expecting the worse. I'm 34, don't have any symptoms and I already seeing myself in a cancer ward...

I suppose I'm posting because I don't want to keep putting those worries onto my partner...

Just looking to vent and talk about similar experiences.

    Hey lovley, I hope you are well. Sorry your having a bit of a panic at the moment. I'm going through something fairly similar. I have 3-4 enlarged lymph nodes in my neck, they have been there since about November. I also have some symptoms along side that that are worrying me! I have extreme fatigue, night sweats, chills during the day, my whole body is so itchy. I have had an appointment with ENT who has requested an urgent ultra sound with possible guided biopsy if required. I also panic a lot too. I'm also worried though about them palming me off! I feel so run down and poorly at the moment. My scan is on the 19th x
