Hello.

i'm not sure if anybody would be able to provide any reassurance or advice. I discovered a lump located in my neck. It's quite large in size and positioned around an inch above my collarbone and off centred of the middle of my throat. I have been to a doctor and are i am due to visit to a local hospital as part of Ear, Nose and Throat department. My understanding is that it's for a scan? But unsure what to expect from my visit or how quickly on average you can know if it's anything more severe. 

I've had a persistent cough for quite some time (not coronavirus related) while having a hoarse voice after talking, find myself drained of energy, and sweating heavily every day. This is just some of the 'symptoms'. I live an active lifestyle and work a lot, with very little free time. has anybody had any similar experience or can provide any direction for what to expect in the months ahead? Thanks for reading.
