Hello
A few months ago I found a swollen lymph node on the side of my neck, a couple of weeks later I noticed another one directly underneath it.
I saw my gp who referred me to ENT, the ENT then referred me for bloods, ultrasound and MRI. In the meantime I noticed another lymph node on the right side of neck above my collarbone.
I had my ultrasound and he didn't seem concerned at all, he looked at all of them and said they all seem normal and could have come up from stress. He didn't want to do a biopsy.
I then got called back to see the ENT, he said my bloods showed small red blood cells and borderline anemic. He said it's good the ultrasound technician felt the lymph nodes were all normal however the MRI showed I had lymph nodes up in my chest too.
He sent me for CT scan on neck and chest which I have had today. I am out of my mind with worry, I cannot stop crying, I've googled lymph node above collarbone and it says the likelihood it's cancer . I literally feel like I'm going crazy I just need to know.
The ENT also said lymph nodes don't come up from stress so if the ultrasound tenchnician got that wrong could he have got it wrong that they look normal.
Has anyone else had lymph nodes come up unexplained? Or in the area above collar bone and it's turned out to be ok?
sorry to ramble I am just so petrified I am only 31 with a 12 year old and a 1 year old and I'm suppose to be getting married next year and I feel like everything is about to be ruined!
