Hi. Can anyone help please?

I have managed to spook myself over the past couple of days! :blush: I have a lump on the back of my neck - it is the size of a marble, about an inch from the base of my skull and about an inch and a half to the right of my spine.

Does anyone know lumps, bumps and glands? I don't want to go to the doctor and waste their time (and mine) if it is just a gland! I dont' have any other glands up anywhere else and feel fine and healthy!

Sorry to sound like a loopy hypercondriac!!;)

Glands are at the sides of your neck... lumps on the back need to be checked out by a doc.

Get yourself an appointment asap xx

I saw my GP this morning.

She has sent me for blood tests as my 2 glands have been 'up' for such a long time and there is no obvious reason - virus etc -for this. :(

I am now even more worried.:(

Better to find out what it is & cross whatever bridge you have to, then wait & not get the chance to cross any bridges...try not to worry, it may not be anything to worry about. xxx
