Neck lumps

I found lumps in my neck and went to see  my GP who was worried. He referred  me to an Haemtologist for an urgent appointment. I was suffering from fatigue night sweats and breathlessness. Received my appointment and was very disappointed as the consultant was not really interested and said it could be down to my age . Brief examination and said it was probably a cyst but would order an ultrasound.  Had ultrasound and they said that not cyst but because of size of lymphnode they would not offer anything else and if it changed to come back. I am worried sick .Anyone else had this experience . Thank you.

  • Hi there,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear that you had this difficult experience and I'm sure it wasn't easy to come away with no answers. Hopefully you can take some reassurance in that it sounds as if they weren't too concerned, but I appreciate this doesn't help with the uncertainty.

    Keep an eye on things and as they say, if it changes then make another appointment. Another option you have if you are concerned and feel you need answers sooner is to ask for a second opinion.

    Wishing you all the best,
