[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2367048, member: 521172"] Well the GP sent me to the Head and Neck Clinic at the hospital, which I was nervous about due to Covid. Saw the the Consultant today and it is a cyst not a lymph node. She had a good feel all around head and neck area and assured me that there was absolutely nothing she was worried about. She couldn't even feel what I was worried about to start with. The "lump" I was conerned about which was lower than the "node" was just a normal part of my throat structure and she said no-one is 100% symetrical. I asked if an ultrasound was needed and she said she could offer me one if her opinion wasn't enough to put my mind at rest but she really didn't see the need. She had a deserved dig at me over a vice I have, I don't drink , but I have struggled over the years to completely give up smoking, but I will now try desperately to succeed with that, but she understands that with my mum on end of life care at a care home it's not the best time! She asked me if I had any symptoms in mouth or throat but she was however reassured that I'd had an endoscopy in 2017 for constant throat clearing that was clear. Relieved but also aware that many aren't so lucky. [/QUOTE]
