Scared

Hello I'm new here hope all is well as can be. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy. Had lots of complications I'm on tamoxifen now. But recently referred back to hospital as I've found a swollen lump in my armpit, the side I had mastectomy. I'm so scared please can anyone help me with my symptoms I'm extremely tired no appetite. Unexplained itching all over my body temperature up and down. Waiting on appointment but just wondering if anyone knows if this sounds like lymphoma. I'm so scared does anyone know what will happen thank you.

  • Hi Peaches,

    I'm so sorry to hear what a difficult time you have had. I have a swollen lymph node and have been referred to be seen by specialist this weekend. I can understand your anxiety especially after all you have been through. I can't speak light on what it is you are experiencing but I am here if you would like to chat, day or night.

  • Thank you Tilly for your reply it means a lot I really appreciate it. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I had no counselling and no one to speak to that understands and been through it. So really helps can I ask if you have had the similar symptoms? I'm new to this how do we request to be friends if that would be okayx

  • Hi Peaches and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I hope this handy guide we have on how to add someone as a friend will help but if you can't find Tillyxh via the friend search then do be sure to use this workaround instead - click on Tillyxh's name as this will take you to their profile. Once there you should see an 'add friend' button. If you click on that, Tillyxh will then receive your friend request and once Tillyxh has accepted this, you will then be able to chat privately.

    Kind regards,

  • I am very new, I was browsing forums as I've been so so anxious and I stumbled across your post and wanted to reply so I created an account so I could. 
     

    my symptoms have been a swollen lymph node behind my right ear, fatigue, night sweats and weight loss. 
     

    I was fast tracked yesterday by my GP and now have a appointment with a private clinic on Saturday. As soon as I have had this consultation I will pop on. 
     

    Sending lots of love and positivity!
