Anyway I have my bloods booked for Tues morning and waiting on the phone call for ENT. I'm not convinced though, it's such a solid firm lump and all I've read says infections usually make the lymph node swollen but soft. He thinks the inflamed skin on back if my scalp may have caused the lump. I said I was pretty concerned, he asked why, I said as everything I've read says this sounds like lymphoma! He said he didn't think it was as the lump would've got a lot larger since he saw me 3 weeks ago? He also checked my throat as said it's not felt right for about 6 weeks, he said it looks normal. So the hard lump on my neck hasn't changed so had my follow up appointment this morning, the GP said he didn't think it was anything serious but has said to book a blood test and done a 2 week referral to ENT for the tests. Hi, just posting in case anyone else is going through something similar. ![]() Just posting on the off chance someone has/is going through something similar! If the lump is still there on 30th and I do go for ultrasound, will try and remember to post what happened. I've been quite underweight for a while (7st 3) but don't think I've lost any more recently. I've been mostly well, only thing to note is my throat hasn't felt right for a few weeks, feels like a constant lump there that doesn't go when I swallow, although doesn't appear to be inflamed or anything. I do wonder if the itchy skin could be related. I have noticed I've been more breathless going up the stairs etc though. I've not experienced night sweats, as for fatigue, well I'm always tired but put it down to having 2 little ones to look after (and a single mum). Of course I'm now reading all I can to learn more, trying to not worry at the same time (I've a 4 and 1 year old!). I was a bit worried as was hoping it was nothing. I thought he'd just say oh it's nothing, however he booked me back in for 30th October and if it's still there he'll refer me for ultrasound on it. ![]() I had a doctor's appointment a few days later anyway because of some very itchy skin on the back on my scalp/neck and groin area which has been bothering me a couple of months now, so thought I'd also mention it then. From checking it appears to be the cervical lymph node which is near the back of my neck. Sort of a kidney bean shape and size I guess. It doesn't hurt, not tender, feels quite solid/hard and doesn't really move. Hi, I know there are a few similar posts to this but thought I'd post my own as some things may be a little different to other people's experiences.Ībout 3 weeks ago I noticed a hard lump on my neck, I've no idea how long its been there.
