Long post.....

Around 7 months ago I had an aching in my neck and by accident found a small lump on the left side of my neck. I waited a couple of weeks before calling my gp. I had a telephone appointment where they said it sounded like a lymph node and to wait a few more weeks. I actually waited several months before calling again. This time I was offered a face to face appointment. The gp initially couldn't feel it but  when I pointed it out she agreed it was likely a lymph node but  that since I'd had no known illness it needs further investigation, she requested full bloods and said she would refer me to head and neck. I had my bloods which came back fine and have just been waiting for head and neck to contact. On Friday the gp secretary  called to see if I had received an appointment  she explained they had requested as a 2 week urgent referral and if I havent had an appointment by the end of next week I must call them back to chase. This has made me panic and worry, looking online suggests they only do this if they suspect its cancer. I'm 33 with 3 children and feeling increasingly anxious, every ache or pain I find myself questioning if it's because it's that which I know is very irrational. I feel very alone
