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.

  • Hello there

    It can be a worry to notice a lump in our bodies but often than not these have a simple cause and aren't anything too serious to worry about.

    Unfortunately no one here can say what this lump has been caused by and you are doing the right thing by arranging to see a GP today. Doctors are the best people to assess lumps and if needed can arrange more tests to find out more.

    Whilst others on here may be going through something similar to you the outcome could be different so it really is impossible to compare.

    I hope you know more soon and are able to get some peace of mind.

    Best wishes
