I have a massive lymph node on my neck it's has been swollen for at least 8 years, I have been to the doctors several times but they are not concerned about it, and have never looked into why it is so swollen, they have only ever given it A feel and said it's fine as it's not solid and moves around under my skin, I used to worry about it but I don't anymore. I know it's so so hard not to stress, and I also googled it and freaked out, but I have never become unwell from it. I know it's hard but if you have had a scan and they aren't concerned I would honestly say you have nothing to worry about, you would be showing signs of being unwell if it was . I hope this helps , try stay positive, they would of picked up if it was anything more when they scanned you. 
 

stay strong! And don't worry yourself sick , u will drive yourself mad, hope ur ok . Xx 

Hi everyone,

I have an update. Last Wednesday I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. I was showing no symptoms but it was directly linked to the swollen nodes. I was extremely angry as I was saying that something was wrong to my doctors in the nhs for over the years. All they did was an ultrasound. Then they told me it was not sinister. They cannot say that unless they do an investigation like a biopsy. 

Ive since moved home to Ireland and for a blood test done ( which the nhs didn’t do), did an ultrasound of my entire neck (which the nhs didn’t not do), ultrasound of my abdomen (which the nhs did not do), then a biopsy ?which the nhs did not do), then I was told I had cancer. I’ve always heard such amazing things about the NHS and put my whole faith in it and trusted the doctors but I feel so let down by their lack of concern. To say it’s nothin for sinister without a biopsy breaks my heart. This could have been caught over two years ago. 

I was diagnosed in Dublin Wednesday just gone and met the specialist two days later and going in for surgery less than a week after my diagnosis. It’s positive and eveyone is optimistic. The surgeon doing it is the best in Ireland and he is very positive but it just breaks my heart that I was raising this so much in england and nothing was done. I put my health and hope in their hands and just feel so let down

Unfortunately son doctors in the nhs just don't research or care . I have had many experiences like that myself with them and I had to go abroad for tests and 2md opinions. 

Hope everything goes well in surgery and things get better for you. Seems like you have been through alot of stress mostly caused by others..
