Swollen lymph nodes and slightly raised bloods

hi all,

i am I’m so much anxiety at the moment. I have been in and out having scans and consultations with my GP and the ENT due to swollen lymph nodes. I have two that are raised more and a couple of others which arnt so raised. They said my biggest one is 1.2cm which is slightly over the normal size it should be. My bloods came back as slightly raised above the normal limit, but only off by about 1/2. I’m really scared that it is something to worry about. I’ve had so many infections from work over the past few years and all have been quite bad infections. I still have a bit of a runny nose and slight cough and stuff in my throat but I’m honestly going out of my mind?! No other noticeable symptoms? My chest x Ray was all clear! Can anyone offer any advice or support ?

  • Hi Megan,

    I noticed you hadn't had a reply yet so I just wanted to quickly stop by and welcome you to Cancer Chat.

    Swollen lymph nodes is discussed quite regularly on the forum so hopefully some of our members who are in similar situations will be along soon to offer their support and advice but do feel free to join in on any other discussions you find about this on the forum as our community are very supportive and will try to help in any way they can.

    I hope your GP and the ENT department are able to get to the bottom of this for you soon Megan and that it doesn't turn out to be anything sinister.

    All the best,
