Ct scan and loads of blood tests

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help I don't really know what to think and would love to hear your stories of what happened and how you got diagnosed I've been suffering with night sweats for over 6 months I have severe shoulder pain and suffer with headaches daily, I also have fatigue. I have 4 children and trying to juggle it all is hard I'm in bed by 7.30 every night. Anyway I've been to see a haematologist and he's referred me for a ct scan but didn't say much else I also had blood tests for 15 different things, but he didn't say what he was looking for? He also found a small enlarged lymph node in my armpit, what do you all think? 
thanks in advance 

  • Hello Poppy888, 

    Welcome to our forum! Going through this while having to juggle it all with 4 children must be incredibly hard. It does sound like you are in good hands and that they are doing all the necessary tests so it is now just a matter of waiting to find out what might be causing these symptoms. But as many on our forum know only too well, waiting is often described here as the hardest part and I hope you will soon find out more and get some definite answers. 

    The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and even though you currently feel very much in the dark as to what they are looking for, it is best to avoid looking things up online. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
