I have noticed a small hard lump in the side of my neck, just below my hairline. To be honest it's been there a little while and I didn;t really think anything of it, but a friend commented on it today and asked me if I had had it checked out. That has freaked me out, so I started looking on net and have now got myself into complete state about Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. I have made an appt with GP, but am scared. I don't want false hope that it will all be okay, but can anyone reassure me a little bit with any personal experience that it might be nothing.
