Hi, so I noticed a lump in my neck about 5 weeks ago, saw GP but had to wait for the 3 weeks of having the lump before the referral could go in, that went in on the 9th but still nothing from hospital as yet.

the GP described it as the size of a golf ball, it’s not painful and is hard.  It’s on the right hand side of the neck.

To say I am somewhat nervous is an understatement.  

  • Hi the waiting’s the worst part it’s fear if the unknown keep busy box sets, reading etc. I too has a lump in my collarbone area. We were f we’re in Spain in an extended trip I ignored it. thought I had pulled something. so don’t worry about the wait I first found mine February 2018  diagnosed may 2018  treatment  July 2018 I’m still here living a good life. Remember over 90% of urgent referrals are not cancer. But if you’re unlucky enough to join us hnc respond extremely well to treatment.
