So several month have passed since my GP told me the lump in my neck was normal. Working long hours and renovating a new house I was so tired on a daily basis. I was constantly complaining I didn't feel well but couldn't specify why. I just 'didn't feel right' for so long. Then one day in February 2017 I felt another lump behind my ear on the same side as the other. I started to google lump in neck and within a very short time had realised I had more symptoms that were worrying. Fatigue, shortness of breath, night sweats. I knew I needed to re-visit my GP
