Hi all,
I have enlarged lymph nodes in my neck and my groin and I have an Ultrasound in a few weeks. Will they examine my neck and my groin? Or just one of them?
I've never had an ultrasound, so dont know what to expect
Thank you
Alicia

Hello Alicia,
I am afraid that we do not know what part of the body you are having scanned. If you feel you need to know then you will have to go back to the doctor that referred you to have it.
An ultrasound scan is an easy type of scan to have and is used for a variety of reasons. The NHS has some good information about having one on their website https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ultrasound-scan/
I hope this helps. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Take care,
Caroline
