Supraclavicular lymph node

Hi 

I have found a hard lump (maybe 1cm but could be larger) which I think is an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node. I have not been ill and haven't had any recent infections or vaccinations. I'm so scared. I am 47 and had a recent call back for a mammogram two weeks ago which I got the all clear from.  Has anyone else had this? I have made an urgent private gp appointment for tomorrow.

  • Hi - having a similar issue here except I'm 25. 1cm moveable hard pebble supraclavicular on the left side, I noticed it maybe 3 months ago. Saw my GP last week and she's referred me red flag to ENT, and for an ultrasound on my neck. Going for bloods tomorrow. She said multiple of my nodes in my left side of my neck are up. I've also been having frequent low grade fevers particularly at night time. 
    I have had bacterial tonsillitis, Covid and a common cold in the last 3 months so half of me thinks it's all just reactive lymph nodes but the other half goes to worst case scenario! The waiting is stressing me out already. 
    Good luck with your GP tomorrow
