Hi! 

I have a lump behind and below my left ear which sounds just the same as yours. It's hard, immovable and no pain. I noticed it in January and went to get it checked out after 8 weeks and I've been referred for an ultrasound which I'm currently waiting for. I can sympathetise with being nervous because I'm also quite scared but also very happy to see so many people on this forum with the same symptoms as me having it come back as nothing. I guess lymph nodes react sometimes and just never calm down again and that's by far the most likely outcome. 

Make sure in your appointment though you voice your concerns (only if you want to!) so your GP can talk through them with you. I didn't get to with my GP and even though I got the scan referral I wanted, I wish I had asked more for my own peace of mind. I feel very in the dark with everything now because I got no info out of her and so I don't even know what the process would be if I needed a biopsy. Don't be afraid to push and ask all the questions you need to help you sleep better at night. 

Wishing you the best of luck for your appointment tomorrow! X

Hello,

I hope you are well and don't mind me asking- how long did you have to wait for an ultrasound referral? I found a lump behind my daughters ear (she's now 8months) and was told it was a swollen lymph node.. 3 months later it's still there so she's been referred for an ultrasound too.
