Swollen Supraclavicular Nodes

Hi, I’m 50 and have a lump in my left armpit. I went to see the gp last week who said it’s a movable lump, 4cm in size and has referring me for an ultrasound scan. When I got home i realised I hadn’t shown him my neck. On both sides my supraclavicular nodes are both swollen and noticeable. I took a picture and sent it to my gp, and he’s arranged a telephone appointment with me this Wednesday. Has anyone else experienced issues with their Supraclavicular nodes and what was the outcome please? im tired and waking up at night in a sweat but not drenching - assumed it was menopause related although that had stopped as I had started HRT couple of years ago. Any advice help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

  • Sorry you’re having to wait another three weeks. It’s the waiting and the not knowing that drives you crazy isn’t it. I’m trying to work but it’s so hard to stay focused. I’ll let you know how things go next Wednesday at my ultrasound scan. I‘m due a call from my gp tomorrow to discuss the supraclavicula swellings. I’m feeling unwell, exhausted, my shoulders and neck ache a bit and I’ve had a cough for quite a while. Just feel low. Trying not to get emotional as I don’t want to worry my 7 year old. Take care.  

  • I'm exactly the same, I can't concentrate on anything at the moment, I feel like I'm making myself worse by worrying, also forgot to ask are your nodes moveable when you touch them or are they unmoveable? 

  • They’re soft and smooth (which I imagine is a good thing) but don’t necessarily move around. I’m hoping they’re just fatty lumps. How about you?
