Swollen lymph above left collarbone

15 July 2023

Hi , not sure what to say , I have noticed a lump at left neck,  3 weeks ago,  I did not bother then I googled it,  short after that felt scared ,contacted GP, as I already have appointment for my menopause issue , as I am going through alot stages , from memory lost and swet and stressed and anxiety and joint aching. Anyway i got to doctor and she transferred urgent blood test and ultrasound. 

My thoughts all of over now as i am waiting , this issue kept in myself ,have not told my daughters my husband my mum, we have my 2 uncles died in cancer, my husband 2 aunties died in cancer too , so I keep this to myself and not worry my lots for now !

  • Hey, anyone went for blood test before the scan ? What you say ?

    I have blood test results today is normal,  does that mean I don't have to worry ie my lump is not cancer ? 

  • Hi Moon

    I am currently in a similar situation. I noticed a lump and swelling above my left collarbone about 11 weeks ago but was only in the last month or so I have become more anxious about it all as i now have a continuous cough, pain in my shoulder/arm/chest and breathlessness.

    Doctor referred me to haematology on 7th of July and requested full blood count and xray. Chest xray was on 11th and bloods done 12th, both came back clear. Haematology app was on 20th, they didn't seem concerned but referred me for a CT scan, that was done on Monday just passed. I have my next consultant appointment on the 8th, keeping everything crossed the CT was clear.

    I hope everything is going well for you, has your GP said any more?

    Thank you for your replied , well I had blood test was normal,  Radiology department that I have been referring to but was no time slot as urgent so I did it private , ultrasound I did ,they said its clear,  but they said I need to be referred to ENT,  and my neck pain is killing me and there become on the right side sawllen as well, so I went back to GP , again they are useless not taking it seriously so I am taking it privately again  waiting for appointment,  and waiting 

    I am so worried and kept it quite from family , daughters and mum, so I am kind of alone , I only talk to this chat, and reading of any who had the same issue 

    Hope your scan will be normal , if blood test and white blood cell is normal that is good sign but still want to be assured that clear 

    I hope its only mussle and inflammation on the sawllen bit... 

    Good luck , for both of us 

    Please keep me posted 

    Are you young ? 

    I am age of 51 and having imenopause that is making me more anxious,  not happy moody  . I am not  taking HRT because I heard alot got side effects of developing cancer.

    Keep me posted xx
