Hi, I've had a lump in my neck just above my adams apple and slightly to the right for about 3 months now, its definitely got bigger over time. Over the last week or so i've had pains in my neck when i look up & down and when I open my mouth/yawn. The lump moves a little bit and is hard. All around the area where the lump is has become very tender. I phoned the doctors this morning and explained and they asked me to go in straight away. The doctor examined the lump and said try not to worry and has arranged for me to be booked in for a scan with a waiting time of up to 8 weeks. Has anybody else had any similar experiences?
