large painless mobile lump on left side of neck

Hi, so i'm 18 and have recently seen my GP about this problem. A few months ago my mum noticed a swelling on the left side of my neck that was kind of soft and easily mobile on the left side of my neck but when looking back at pictures i've noticed a small bump beginning to grow over a course of 7/8 months. the lump is painless but doctors were unsure of the cause of this. they did urgent blood test and i've been referred for two urgent scans. the bloods came back normal but i'm still very alarmed by this. as someone who is living quite far away from home i'm having to do it all mostly alone which is frightening. i find myself checking the post box daily in hopes that the letter comes, a week has felt like a year. i just want to know if anyone else has experienced similar or maybe any support or reassurance if possible. thank you xx

  • Hi Amy, 

    I don't usually reply to online forms like this but i am too18 and currently experiencing the exact same thing. I have a lump on the left side of my neck around 4cm as well as a small one on the right, and am currently waiting for my blood test and a fine needle aspiration ( i think this is just so they can test the cells!) and completely understand the anxiety you're feeling. Time is dragging so much while i wait for the appointments, I really hope you're okay and if you need someone to talk to whos going thru something similar please feel free to message me :) x
