Waiting lymph node biopsy results

Two days after my sons 7th Birthday I had my 2 week urgent appointment. I saw the consultant who couldn’t feel anything, I felt like a idiot for worrying everyone but got sent for a mammogram and then ultrasound. The radiologist found two enlarged lymph nodes and took five biopsy’s. One has been sent for lymphoma screen the others for I’m assuming cytology. I’ve been referred for urgent CT chest/abdomen and pelvis and I’m going back again on Thursday for results. The waiting is horrendous. It’s half term I’m struggling with looking after my son, keeping busy and coping with a potential diagnosis. Worst of all I’m a nurse, I’m already four steps ahead in my head. We’ve had a lot of loss in the last 8 months several to cancer which is making my anxiety worse. 6 days to go...

Edit 6/06/19

today it was confirmed I have breast cancer. I’m so relieved after all the waiting, I can actually do something now. I’m ready for a fight x

    Hi 

    I know what you are going through because I am in a similar position, know your not alone! Just wanted to reassure you about lymphoma, I have had 2 friends that had stage 4 lymphoma and they are totally fine now! One has gone on to have a baby and the other is trying. It’s very treatable. Be wary of Dr Google because you will find whatever you are looking for. Let us know how you get on x

    Thanks for replying,

    most of the time I’m fine then I’ll get a wave of anxiety and palpitations. My son asked me what my biggest fear was and I nearly lost it. Little does he know.

    I am speaking to the GP on Tuesday i’m assuming about the chest X-ray she ordered a couple of weeks ago. Then my consultant appointment is due on Thursday it seems a very long time till Thursday.  

    Let me know how your getting on xx
