Worried about lumps in neck

Hi,

I’m wondering if anyone can help me.  I found a lump in my neck December last year (3/4months ago) I spoke on the phone with my doctor who advised I wait a few weeks to see if it goes down, January came and I still had the lump if not slightly bigger. The doctor booked me in for a consultation, bloods and a ultra sound san, I waiting another 4 weeks and all I received was a copy of my blood test sheet which meant nothing to be but told I had to have the, re done. Throughout all the waiting I called nearly every day for my results or any updates. In February another lump appeared, I contact the doctors again in which they said ‘ oh yes 2 lumps were found on the scan’ they booked me in for more blood tests to check my hormone levels which came back fine and then referred me to a haematology speciality. The specialist refused to see me and sent back to my docs. I now have another lump on my breast. My doctor was check all 3 lumps and are angry at the specialist for not seeing me, again they have referred it back to the specialist and referred me to the breast clinic. I have an appointment for my breast tomorrow. But again the specialist has refused to see me and have advise I take a HIV test. This is also booked for tomorrow.

*I have purchased my own HIV test from boots whihc came back negative.

I feel like im just being refused and passed from pillar to post. Im worried sick and have no idea how or what I can do.

In the whole process of all this I have many other symptoms and have been advised it could be many different things, Lymphoma – HIV – Crohns.

 

Any advise or help will be massively appreciated.

  • Hello JessBack

    I'm sorry to hear about the ongoing health concerns that you're dealing with.

    I noticed from your post that you were due to go to the breast clinic today and so wanted to ask how you got on at the clinic. Hopefully, it was the first step in getting some answers about what is going on for you. 

    Do go back to your GP again if you're still feeling concerned or anxious about your symptoms. 

    I hope that you have some answers soon. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Jenn

    Thanks for coming back to me, i went to the breast clinic and it came back fine. however, at the same time they found another lump in my armpit and collar bone.

    I went yesterday for another ultrasound scan of my original lumps (2) in my neck, recently i have felt as if there is a 3rd, however the lady doing my ultrasound found 5 lumps. she measured them all and said she would send these back and ask my doctor to refer me to a specialist, I told her how this would be the 3rd referral as the first 2 got refused.

    I have today found 2 lumps in earlobe I have no idea if these are connected or not, I am itchy for no reason, im tired, stressed, my bowel movements aren’t great, I have blood there often. All of which I cant tell the doctors because I cant get in to speak to them but im going out my mind with worry. Over the past 2/3weeks I have tried calling my doctors and I just get told there next available phone appointment will be around 19th April.

    I just do not know what to do, I had bloods and HIV test last week and the doctors reception advised there are no results.
