Lump in neck and ear pain/tinnitus

Hi 

I'm 34 years old and realised I have a painless lump on my neck about half way down on the right hand side. More like a raised mound and about an inch or bigger. I've had ear pain for months and tinnitus that keeps me awake most nights. I went to the doctor and he said my ears aren't blocked or infected and the lump needs an ultrasound. I have to wait for a letter to get an ultrasound so I have booked a private ultrasound instead tomorrow

 

I haven't slept in days and I'm petrified I might have cancer. My dad passed away 3 years ago from cancer and it was horrendous to see him go through it. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms but it's turned out to be something different?

 

Thank you

  • Hello Coryn, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. How did the ultrasound go yesterday? Try not to anticipate the worst - there are so many things other than cancer that it could be.

    Did the ultrasound shed some light on what it might be or are you still waiting for results ?

    Keeping everything crossed for you! 

    Best wishes,
