Ultrasound tomorrow - Scared

I'm really worried about the results of an ultrasound I'm getting tomorrow.

I started getting a strange fluttering feeling in the left side of my abdomen a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 weeks then the fluttering went away but a heavy feeling remained. I noticed a small but firm lymph node in my groin which I've been keeping an eye on and when I felt today I found another one further up.

I wasn't as worried until I found the second one. Everything I have read on the internet points to cancer.

I have also had rib pain for a few months which I thought was a pulled muscle because I do a lot in the gym, but now with the other symptoms I'm thinking it may actually be my spleen causing the pain.

I know from a previous ultrasound about 5 years ago that I have PCOS and worried it's become something more serious.

  • Hey Kitkat, 

    I just thought I'd check in to see how you got on with your ultrasound results the other day.

    I hope you received good news but our community are here for you if it wasn't what you expecting.

    Kind regards,

  • The ultrasound all showed up fine, the dr said she couldn't see anything that was of concern however I mentioned to her about swollen lymph nodes in the left side of my groin which she scanned over and confirmed they were reactive so encouraged me to go back to the gp to get to the bottom of why they are swollen.

    There isn't any obvious reason for them to be swollen and it's been about 4 weeks now so I'm feeling worried
