Right Supraclavicular Node Enlarged

Hello all,

I randomly noticed a lump on the right side of my neck above collarbone. I did a private scan after seeing GP as was put on waitlist for NHS one. Report suggested enlargement of right supraclavicular node and a cluster of nodes in that location. It also mentioned it was just under 3cm with increased vascularity and diminished fatty hilums. 
 

I've done a blood test at GPS this week and waiting for results.

Dr.Google (I know, I know!) has been super informative on all those big key words from the report, but has me petrified. 
 

Has anyone been through something similar? And can anyone shed any positive light on this? I know I will probably have blood results by Monday evening but I am wondering what I need to prepare myself for if it is bad news. 

I am 40, have no other symptoms just tiredness but have a 4 year old and an 8 month old who still wakes for a feed every 2-3 hours in the night so reckon that's why I'm super tired. 
 

Thanks in advance x

    Hello smrw82, 

    You've said it yoursef, and you are absolutely right - Dr Google is not to be trusted! So ignore what Dr Google has told you even if it gave you the impression of being super informative. Chances are Dr Google may well be wrong.

    I hope that you won't have to wait long for your blood test results and that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. Try if you can not to anticipate the worst before you get your results as this will only serve to make you more anxious and will not give you any definite answers. So try and take one day at a time if you can and focus on distracting yourself doing things you enjoy rather than thinking ahead about what the results might be. It's easier said than done I know but it will help you deal with the long wait for answers. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I hope that you will hear from other members who have been through this before and that they will be along shortly to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out to be fine!

    Best wishes,
