Hi all, 27f

I feel very anxious as I am waiting to get an ultrasound for a swollen cervical lymph node and my GP said it would take 4-6 weeks.

I went to the GP for a cyst and to meet him as I have switched GPs and get my prescriptions sorted. He asked if I had ever had this swollen lymph node in my neck looked at but I hadn't. I'm often at different Drs for an autoimmune disease so I figured someone would say something if it was a problem.

he's sending me for an ultrasound and was concerned because the node is 25mm. It's been there around 6 months. I'm often fatigued and unwell and itchy but again I have an autoimmune disorder so I attributed it to this. I've also recently lost 25 lbs in the last few months but I thought this was from switching from a desk job to one on my feet.

I'm very anxious now because I felt around my neck and I actually have three or four cervical lymph nodes swollen on the right side and a (maybe 15mm) supraclavical lymph node on my left side. At my last rheum appointment a month ago my LDH was also high.

Im feeling anxious because I knew that lump was there but didnt do anything about it earlier. Waiting for a ultrasound also feels like an impossible task right now. Needless to say, the anxiety has my autoimmune disorder flaring as well.

If you have any advice or guidance please do share it with me.
