Hard large lymph node above collar bone

So.... I had my 3rd baby 6 weeks ago by c-section. (Just mentioning this incase it's useful info)

Around 10days after she was born i noticed quite a large hard lump on the left side near my collar bone to the front area. I have read before on these type of lumps and know that it probably wasn't good news.  

I went to the Drs who said to go for an ultrasound. I went for the ultrasound and he said he thought it was a lymph node but didn't do a fine needle biopsy there and then as he thought I would need more imaging done. I then got booked for a ct scan 3 days later and had that.

I have also been referred to a haematologist and my appointment is tomorrow. I'm guessing I will get results from the ct scan. I'm just terrified .

I Had initial bloods done which showed low iron slightly and my liver tests were abnormal  ( I do have gallstones so possibly why?)

Just looking for reasurance of maybe something similar that has happened to anybody else. I know I will find out more tomorrow but at the moment I just want to talk to others that may be able to help.

Thankyou

    Hi Summer88, I am going through a similar thing with an enlarged rubbery, painless left supraclavicular node approx. 2-3cm in size. Was yours movable at all? I have just had my blood test done, and I am having an ultrasound on Monday, what were your results in the end? I am feeling very worried after consulting Dr. Google, and have also have booked myself in for a private Melanoma screening this afternoon.

    Thank you!

    I have a CT scan on the same thing in my neck/behind ear. Have either of you had your results with some news to reassure me?

    Hi Lucy, I had 2 ultrasounds and approx. 12 blood tests in the end. Results showed Lyme disease and I have been on antibiotics for a month to clear it up. Doctors suspect this is the cause, however there has been no change to the lymph node since I last wrote and I will be going back for a third ultrasound in a month. I hope your results come back clear! Xx
