Hard, large lymphnode

Hi,

I'm a 27 f and in March 23 noticed a swollen lymph node. It's still there 4months later.

It's quite big maybe 3cm, on the left side of my neck.

It's hard and immobile.

And I am terrified.

I went to the Dr yday and they didn't seem to worried and referred me for a non urgent ultrasound.

The anxiety is too much for me so I've booked in privately for an ultrasound next week.

I have no symptoms but just to top of the anxiety I'm 5 weeks pregnant.

I'm so scared and I've absolutely convinced myself it's something g terrible.

Anyone else in or been in the same situation?

  • Did you have a sore throat or anything like that prior to your lump, Iv got ongoing problems with my tonsils and each them it gets bad my Lymph nodes swell up and I can feel them through my skin and it’s always on the same side of my infection started in my right moved to my left. After a course of antibiotics they do go down well I’m hoping they go down because I can’t feel them but because of the ongoing tonsil issues Iv convinced myself I have cancer and I have 2 kids 5 year old and 2 year old and I’m so scared. Was refered to ent he had a look gave me more antibiotics and sent me for mri had it on Friday just waiting for results so scared. 

  • Yeah I did but for me it's been up for 4 months. I'm hoping on Thursday I get some reassurance. Absolutely terrified 

  • I was told if this helps that after infection or illness lymph nodes can take weeks and months to go down xx
