Hi I have swollen supraclavical nodes on my left side, first noticed in dec, went to doctor , bloods showed no infections. has a US showed a node of 11mm with irregular outline and increased vascularity. to be repated in 8 weeks, he wasnt qualified to do a biopsy so none taken. The 8 week wait is messing with my head. meanwhile 1 lump is now 3 with an additional growth that doesnt feel like a node. I am bricking itbut hopefully only another 3 weeks to go .

Hi MrsLilly I can understand why you’re so frustrated and the wait feels like forever. Would you consider going back to the gp, to show them the new lumps and request a biopsy? Seems a long time to have to wait. Keep us posted and sending positive vibes.

My gp rang me this morning - he assumed I had one lump in my neck and said he thinks they’re just fatty lumps (the one in my armpit and in my neck) but I explained I have matching neck lumps either side, identical. Surely they can’t both be fatty lumps? But strange. Anyway i hope he’s right. Seeing him first thing so he can see them, so will see what he says.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. The area is the worst place I agree, google agrees too! Are you able to move yours about? You can’t see mine, I can only feel it cause I know it’s there! 

Yeah mine is very moveable to the point that they struggled to see it on the US because it kept moving! My neck didn't swell either, I can just feel it under the skin 

Mine is exactly the same, I’m 28 so I’m hoping age is on my side! I noticed it 2 days ago and I’ve already got blood test next week and scan in 4 weeks. I’m lucky that the hospital near me is super quick! Fingers crossed everything is fine, it’s so hard to not worry! 

Glad they’re continually testing you but understandably all this waiting and not knowing is frestating. Please let us know how you get on- will be thinking of you. 

Hi Laurenjess, how are you? I’ve had quite a lot of tears, so had all bloods done - all were normal including TSH.

Had an ultrasound which showed enlarge right side thyroid lobe and a prominent IV lymph node in the short axis. Said the thyroid was heterogeneous throughout. Then I saw a ENT consultant who was qquite dismissive and said there was nothing wrong and that my thyroid antibody test which I was about to get the results for would also be normal - he was wrong.

My thyroid antibodies TPO test came back this week showing it was abnormal and levels were raised. ive hust had a chest X-ray today as im also experiencing a dry cough, breathlessness, and tightness in my neck and throat area, and still have this awful fatigue. 

Fingers crossed for you! I know it's so hard but try not to worry yourself to much, I made myself really ill and ended up in a&e. Do you have any other symptoms?

omg! I can't believe you're both still waiting not knowing what is wrong! I really hope you're okay, when do you get your x-ray results back? Hopefully not too long for you so you'll have some understanding with what is going on

Trying my best! Although I’ve just collected my blood forms and it says urgent so totally panicked, doctors surgery are saying they’ve put that so we’ve got the results back in time for my scan, but can’t help but worry. No other major symptoms, I’ve got a bit of a cough and I feel a bit run down but I was partying all last weekend so assumed it was from that! 

They sent me for an urgent US but still took 4 weeks, please do not worry! It's really good how quick they are being with you though! Please keep me updating, hope everything comes back okay!

Thank you so much. Im flying to Dubai Tuesday to celebrate my birthday so I’ve told them to not contact me until I am back! Lol

Omg have the best time and don't even think about it, just celebrate your birthday and enjoy every second! ️

Bless your heart. The worry is horrid. But do go and enjoy your birthday and have a great time. We’re here for you when you need to chat. x

Thank you so much. I’m actually glad I’ve got this planned so I’m not sat at home obsessing over it! Bloods done today so will see what comes back. Also, I have a ragdoll, funny little things aren’t they!! :-)

Aww - yes they’re very funny. Strong personalities! I adore my boy, he’s 12 now and still acts like a crazy kitten. :)
