Normally I don’t post on these forums, but I need some advice.
in January, my nodes on the back of my neck were found to be enlarged. They weren’t painful, I wasn’t unwell and the dr sent me on fast track to have it checked.
saw a ENT consultant and had lots of tests, to which he felt they were reactive nodes and would go away.
I started having sweats, to the point where my clothes were soaked, my skin all over my body is itchy and sore to touch and I scratch it until it bleeds. I went back to the consultant and explained that the lymph nodes were still there and were sometimes getting bigger. He agreed then that they should be removed and a biopsy done on them.
this week I wasn’t feeling particularly well but had a lot on my plate and put it down to that. Then noticed I was bruising all over my body for no reason. I went to the dr and after telling her about the nodes, she noticed they had already spread down my neck towards my chest. She told me she was concerned and would contact my consultant right away. She arranged, bloods and a chest X-ray and told me to rest and not go to work.
i haven’t had the X-ray results back but my blood showed my CRP Levels were very high?
Im 26, had glandular fever at 17, it isn’t mumps - what on Earth else could it be? I’m totally not prepared for this. My surgery is scheduled for 24th.
any advice appreciated!
