Hello Jessicax93, 

How did your GP appointment go? You did the right thing in booking a doctor's appointment as they will be in the best position to tell you what it might be and if you need any additional tests. Issues with lymph nodes are very common and we have had many members of our forum post about enlarged lymph nodes in the neck and I hope that you will hear from the experiences of others here who have had something similar. 

By now you will probably have had some answers as you will have seen the GP and I hope that you feel a little reassured after your appointment. 

Best wishes,

Hi Lucie -  thank you for asking 

the doctor also found another one in my neck.  He agrees with the 3 I felt aswell so it’s good to know I’m not going mad.  He also agreed that they are all hard and don’t move, they are all painless too.

I have been referred under the quick referral so I should hopefully no a bit more within 2 weeks 

I have the same but only one of my lymph node is up, I have an US on Wednesday but can't stop myself from worrying, hope you're okay x

Hope it all goes well for you!  How does yours seem to be growing? Mine seem to multiplying and growing quite rapidly

Where by is yours? Mine is by my collarbone and yeah it has definitely grown unfortunately 

just above collarbone at side of the right side of my neck, another one on top of that, and slightly toward the back of my neck on the other side I have two which are bigger than the ones on the right side, but I actually noticed my right side first 

Mine is the left side above my collarbone! I googled it and I shouldn't have because apparently by the collarbone isn't good so I can't stop worrying!! I keep feeling for more but at the minute it is just the one above my collarbone, it's been a month now since I found it 

How did your US go?

Really well, it's definitely not the big C as it didn't light up on my US so a biopsy is not needed, they're not too sure what it is but don't think it's a lymph node either. They said it could either be a scar tissue or muscular but she had her consultant take a look at it after I left and she said she sending the report off to my gp and to contact my gp in two weeks 

Oh that is good to hear !

Hi Jess,

Hope your ultrasound goes well x 

Let us know how you get on. I’m in a similar situation however my GP is not willing to refer me for a scan. I’ve booked another appointment with another GP, hopefully this one will take me seriously.
