    Hello Bailey98-, 

    Dr Google has a nasty habit of "freaking us out" so my first piece of advice is to keep well away from the temptation to look anything up on Google and to follow these helpful tips while you are waiting to have this important ultrasound. 

    Many members of our community have posted here about swollen supravicular left nodes and I hope that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. Try not to worry too much if you can until you have your appointment as in many cases, these lymph nodes can be swollen for so many possible reasons other than cancer. You will only know for sure when you have been through all your tests and I can imagine this is a stressful time for you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern,
