Even more anxious

I finally went to the doctors this morning to get the lump I've had on my neck for about 6 weeks and have been told it's most likely a swollen lymph node

How long for those to go down and how likely is it to be cancer? 

I am so so scared I'm only 24 and it's hard not to think the worse

  • What did the doctor say? Did he refer you anywhere else or was the decision made there it was a swollen lymph node.

    ive has swollen lymph node since 2013 it's never gone down. It was checked out twice before just a reactive node however I've got 4 more now and I've had to go for tests biopsy ct scan just waiting for the results.

    if it's still there in 6-8 weeks and you are still worried go back but I'd be reassured that it's not even been sent for further investigation.

  • They literally just said it sounds like a swollen lymph node and if it hasnt gone down the more tests will be needed but to be fair it was gone down a bit over the last few weeks but still so worried :(
