4 weeks ago I noticed a lump on the left side of my neck and just thought it was a swollen gland.
It's about an inch in size, fairly firm to the touch and doesn't move postion.
No obvious signs of illness or infection.
Other symptoms to note are:
feeling tired all the time to the point that sleep does not refresh me (I put that down to have a lively 7 year old with adhd) and a general feeling of something not being quite right for quite a while.
Memory loss where I either start to talking and forget what I was going to say or can't remember the words.
My husband has noticed I have been increasingly irritable, short-tempered and emotional (I think that's hormonal)
I suffer from boughts of depression and have recently been struggling with getting up in the morning, and lack motivation to do anything, socialise etc.
I saw the GP yesterday who wasn't overly concerned but referred me for a blood test today (results monday) and for an ultrasound within 2 weeks. So I am now awaiting the call to arrange that.
Have obviously googled but trying to remain level headed.
