enlarged periaortic lymph nodes CT scan

i went to the ER for abdominal pain with fever. they said I have enlarged lymph nodes all throughout my abdomen and the ER doctor said to schedule a biopsy with my regular doctor. They put 'concerns for malignancy' on the form. I am working on getting an appointment next week. Hopefully I can get in for the biopsies quickly,

  • Hi Elizabeth and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear enlarged lymph nodes were found throughout your abdomen and there are concerns about possible malignancy.

    I know this must be worrying, and very scary to find out, but I'm glad you've joined us as you'll find many of our members have been in similar situations, so you are not alone and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, we're thinking of you Elizabeth and will have our fingers crossed you're able to get an appointment with your GP soon.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
