Enlarged lymph nodes in neck.... HELP all advic appreciated

In March I discovered a large lump in my neck which the consultant said was either Lymphoma or  brachial Cyst, however after some tests he was confident it was a cyst.. fast forward 7 months and I have just got home from surgery to remove the Cyst but once the consultant opened me up he could not find the cyst however discovered and removed some swollen lymph glands to be sent for testing... could it be lymphoma after all ? Anyone end experience?

  • Hello Mumto3kiddies

    I'm sorry to hear that you're still waiting on a form diagnosis about the lump that you found earlier this year. 
    There could be many reasons that the lymph nodes  your Consultant removed were swollen although it's understandable that you're feeling concerned about things. Did he say how long you would have to wait for the biopsy results?

    If you'd like to  chat to one of our nurses about your situation then you're most welcome to give them a call. I'm sure that they will be able to offer some advice and support whilst you're waiting for your results. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that you have some new soon. 

    Best wishes,
