Hi everyone 

I have been to my GP today regarding a lump on my neck/ collarbone area. It has been there around 2 weeks. She did a check then told me that she was putting me onto the 2 week pathway and will be referred to the head and neck team at my local hospital. I had an urgent blood.test done today and am waiting for.an ultrasound scan to be done on my neck.

I had parotid gland cancer diagnosis in December last year and the surgery in February this year. The new lump is the same side as my surgery. 

Has anyone else had parotid gland cancer that has progressed to thyroid cancer

Am terrified and dont think I can go through it again SobSob

  • Hi. 

    I can’t recall anybody describing that here. Perhaps it’s a question you could ask on the thyroid cancer forum. 
    Did your GP suggest what it might be? The thyroid lies under your chin over your voice box. Is that where the lump is?
