Swollen lymph node

Hi everyone! I have had a swollen lymph node on the back of my neck for a month now that got noticeably bigger in the last 2 weeks. I went to the doctors and was prescribed antibiotics to see if that would help. It didn’t make a difference and I have another swollen node above the other one and one by my collarbone. I went back to the doctors and have been referred for an urgent uss. I have lost weight, I don’t know how much but people have commented that I’ve lost weight and my clothes are big (I don’t weigh myself so don’t actually know how much). I suppose I just have to wait and see what the USS shows.

  • Hi Daisywhirl,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I know it's never easy waiting for appointments and dealing with uncertainty.

    I'm not sure if you've received your referral appointment yet, but hopefully it's not long to wait. As you say, it's a case of waiting for any tests and results to get the information you need.

    Some say it helps to keep busy and focused on other things as much as possible while you wait, to help with keeping your mind off any worries.

    Wishing you all the best,
