What is the process for swollen lymph nodes?

I have swollen lymph nodes in groin and armpit, I have had bloods, chest X-ray and referred for ultrasound. Annoyly when I arrived I was told the ultrasound machine was broken , I asked if the scan can see lymph nodes and she said no that's a special test and I'm booked for abdo and pelvis. Is this the correct procedure? I assumed I was having my lymph nodes scanned. Is there anything I should be requesting, sorry I'm so nervous and disappointed about today . 

  • Hi Katieh1985,

    I can certainly understand your disappointment if you'd been expecting to get answers sooner.

    I'm sure they are doing all the tests necessary to get the answers they and you need. However if you feel you'd like to talk this through with someone, about your concerns and questions, then you are welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,
