Hi everyone, just looking to see if anyone has similar stories that could be reassuring.
About a month ago, I noticed a small hard lump on the top left side of the back of my neck (after googling, I think it’s an occipital lymph node). Around the same time, I noticed a small, pea sized, squishy lump on the lower right side of the back of my neck and another one on the left too. After calling the doctor today, he said he wasn’t too concerned as I didn’t have any other symptoms like night sweats etc. but as soon as I got home, I checked myself again and actually noticed another swollen lymph node above my left collar bone. It’s small, squishy and moveable which I know is a good sign. However, I don’t know how multiple swollen lymph nodes between my neck and collar bone could be nothing?
I struggle with health anxiety in general but am so scared with this one as I can’t see it being nothing when it’s spread from my neck to my collar bone. I have an in person appointment with the doctor next week and I’ll be pushing for blood tests/scans.
Sorry for the long message, I just can’t seem to find similar stories so thought I’d reach out here, thanks x
