Lump on collarbone really worried

I've found a lump in my collarbone. It doesn't run along my collarbone more above if I press the length of my finger against it and push you can feel it move under my skin feels firm. But not ball like shape more sausage shape. I don't know if it's muscle or lymph node. I can feel some tiny soft lumps just above my clavicle. This is more towards the back . I saw gp yesterday who didn't even feel it just slightly tapped above collarbone. I've been referred for a ultra sound. How long does that usually take for appointment? I'm absolutely petrified . I'm 31 no symptoms other than a little itchy. Can't feel anything other side. Are collarbone lymph nodes just above clavicle? Thankyou 

  • Hello Jadie1990

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently noticed a lump. It's good to know that you've already seen your GP who has referred you to get this checked. 

    Waiting times for scans and appointments really can vary quite a bit. You might want to give the department a call next week to check they've had your referral and ask how long the waiting list is. If you can attend at short notice then it may be worth mentioning that as well in case they have a cancellation. 

    We know that it can be an anxious time whilst waiting for appointments and sometimes it can help to talk things through with someone. If you'd like to chat with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer some advice and support. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for your scan and that the results bring reassuring news. 

    Best wishes,
