COVID MODERNA VACCINE - LUMP ON LEFT NECK

Hello, I hope this comment finds you all well. 

I am reaching out to see if anyone has experienced a similar situation to what I am going through, in general and/or following their covid-19 vaccination. 

After my first Moderna Covid Vaccination, I noticed a small pea sized lump on the left side of my neck - what I assume to be my cervical lymph node. Im not sure if it was there before the vaccine, but it was only afterwards that I noticed it.
 

I wasn't too alarmed, but fast forward 8 weeks and the lump is still there and hasn't reduced in size at all :-(. I have visited my GP, and he referred me for the 2 week scan - however, the consultant explained that she would need to see me in person before conducting a scan, and the only available appoint would be end of September.. seems like a long wait! 

After googling my symptoms online, I'm struggling to find any solution for the lump on my cervical lymph that isn't lymphoma. The lump is on the left side of my neck, around half way from my ear to shoulder. Super worried as I have a family history of cancer, and feel petrified that it could be what I'm fearing most.

For context; I am a 25 year old female, generally healthy - dont smoke, and dont drink much. But as mentioned, have a close family history of cancer. 

Big big thank you to anyone who has had the kindness to read, grateful for any advice or support!

  • Hi there,

    I've just come across your post and not sure how you got on but would love to hear any updates.

    I have also noticed a small hard lump on the right side of my neck that seems to be quite deep, but only about 1 cm in size.

    Like you, I'm not sure if it was there before but I also had the Moderna vaccine a month or so ago. I really couldn't say if it's been there for awhile or not but it's only now that I'm really noticing it. I did have quite bad side-effects after my second vaccine and wondering whether it had something to do with that. I have seen my GP who has finally given me a neck exam feeling my other lymph nodes, and confirmed that it is a cervical lymph node but I do not have any other enlarged lymph nodes so to try not to worry. He has referred me for an ultrasound, not sure when it will be yet but hopefully will be reassured it is nothing. Hope youre doing better! And fingers crossed for us all that it was just a reaction to the vaccine!

  • Good evening all,

    I hope all is well.

    I just had my first Pfizer vaccine yesterday and have noticed my neck is now slightly swollen with a lump on the left side around the collar bone area.

    My left arm also feels slightly tingly/numb, did anyone else experience this?

    It would be great to hear what the scans found from all that had one and the progression since all the messages...

    Have a great evening.
