Haematology appt

I have a haematology appointment tomorrow. I had a CT scan 2 weeks ago and they found enlarged lymph nodes in my chest. Dr said it could be either sarcoidosis or lymphoma. 

i’m just wondering what bloods etc they will take? Have a respiratory appointment next week which for some reason I feel more nervous about. 

I also have a lump on my breast so been referred to breast cancer clinic. I assume I should mention this at both appointments too? 

Thank you. 

  • Hello Ms_D

    I'm sorry to hear that you're currently going through some additional tests and appointments following a recent CT scan, which noted enlarged lymph nodes in your chest. It's understandable that you've been feeling anxious about things. 

    How did your appointment with the haematology team go yesterday? I hope that they were able to offer some information and reassurance about the next steps in this process. 

    We know that for many people, this period of uncertainty while waiting for more tests and results can be really difficult. If it would help to talk with one of our nurses at any point, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Keep in touch Ms_D and let us know how you get on over the next few weeks. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
