Lymph gland behind ear has lump

Hi there, I’m currently on 4th round AC, after my  3rd round, the lymph gland in my neck (Surgery side) behind ear swelled up and was painful, it has slowly gone down, but a hard lump has remained behind my ear. Got an appointment w GP on Friday, but wondering if anyone else had this as well.....

    Haven’t experienced it myself (my ‘swollen lymph node’ turned out not to be a lymph node at all but a benign schwannoma) but simple infections can cause swelling. Always best to get it checked out however. Best wishes for a happy resolution.

    My lymph nodes in armpit whilst on ac were swollen for a while. I had an ultrasound and they were just reactive. I did kind of feel stressed about it.
