Hello!
so today I had my 2WW appointment with head and neck over at the hospital. About 5 weeks ago I found a large very hard lump under my chin which didn't move. After week three I decided to go to my GP who referred me to head and neck as she was worried. At my GP appointment with my guidance she found the lump almost straight away and got a good feel of it (hence the referral)
So naturally I have been worried leading up to my 2WW appointment. Today I had it, and Sod's law the lump seems to have shrunk slightly (but still there and rock solid) anyway the doctor today at my appointment today just could not for the life of him find this lump under my chin (which was stressing me out as I feel he wasn't listening to me telling him where it was) and I feel like he palmed me off like nothing was wrong? He never felt the lump but did no further tests, ultrasound, scan, nothing. He said it could just be a reactive lymph node, but for nearly 6 weeks? I know that it shrunk slightly and isn't as noticeable but it's still there and solid, so I feel very upset and let down and still have no answers.
I was told to go back to the 2WW if it gets bigger again.
my grandma and mum both passed away of cancer and both their experienced were dragged out before diagnosis so something like this scares the life out of me and I just cannot cope anymore with it all!
Has anybody else experianced this?
