Lymph gland swollen on next just above collarbone

Hi

 

I am writing in respect of my partner as I am so worried about him.  Basically he has not been well for a while fever night sweats loss of appetite and really tired.  He is normally a very well man very active and does a manual job so pretty fit. About three weeks ago he came home from work saying look at my neck it's so swollen as soon as I saw it I though it was a lymph gland so told him he needs to see the doctor and get checked out.  Well he has he has had blood tests which came back fine and also had a ultrasound scan on monday where they said they could not see much but they took a biopsy and he has been fast tracked now for another type of scan so they can see more.   The gland goes up and down.in size and he came home from work early yesterday as he felt not well again fever 39.1 and feels very weak. We have to wait now for results but I am really worried.

  • Hi 

    Just wanted to update my.post basically my partner received an appointment this morning by post for a ct scan in 5 weeks times that seems a long time to wait seeing he was meant to be faster tracked.  Is this a normal sort of wait time ? Still awaiting result of fine needle biopsy. 

     

    Bit of an update but no further in knowing what is going on for partner.  Still no results from the biopsy but partner did get a call from the hospital today and has an appointment to see the6 consultant again very worried as dont know what's the reason for the appointment still in dark and fearing the worth

    Thanks

     

    Still no nearer to a conclusion my partner when to the appointment yesterday ENT and had a camera put up his nose etc they still dont know why the lymph gland is reacting so need to do another biopsy so worried it just taking so long to get results he was told yesterday that it could be cancer they need to do more tests to rule it out.
