Hello all!
I don't know where to begin, but here goes!
I am 26 years old, and I gave birth to my baby boy almost 6 weeks ago- an amazing moment! One week later, I found a lump above my left collarbone. I went to the doctors and he asked about my family history of lymphoma, or if any, I told him my sister had it when she was 14 (she is now 21) and was in remission. Well that kick started everything. 3 loads of blood tests all slowly rising and "in line with someone who had given birth recently) and a hematology referral.
2 weeks ago I was examined by the consultant (ultrasound week before) who confirmed I had 15 lumps all in my left neck, however only one lump was of concern measuring over 2cm. In that time I found one on my collarbone also but this doesnt seem to be of concern(although I have heard they are to be VERY concerning). Anyway, he sent a referral to ENT and I went last thursday, who advised he wouldnt do the biopsy that day under local because if the location he advised to go under GA.
My biopsy is tomorrow, and been told to expect results within the next 2 weeks. I'm all over the place, not had many symptoms, and if I have they have been in line with giving birth (flu like aches) back ache, tiredness etc. However I have had a persistent cough on and off from being 23 weeks pg, and last month or so right shoulder blade is painful, butvsides with anti inflammatory.
Dreading the outcome if I am honest, unsure how to feel. My sisters lump was in the same place and all her bloods were also fine whilst being tested. It's a bit like deja vu all over again :(
So a xious about everything x
