Hello all, 

Ive refrained from posting as im attempting to stay optimistic. Long post I'm afraid! In November i found a tender lump in my right allixa, size of a pea, assumed it was the bone of my bra cutting in. However, i left it a week and it was still there. I went to my GP, done a full breast examine, Dr could honestly feel the lump told to go back in two weeks (NICE guidance in Wales) i went back as It became swollen and the lump bigger which the gp could tell so sent a referal for a scan. Xmas held the scan up and on January 7th i went along for the scan, Radiologist confirmed it was my lymph node that was enlarged and some others around were also found to be enlarged. I hd 3 biopsies taken that day. Ive not heard any news and i am now getting emotional and my IBS has flared up something stupid to the point i cant even drink without it being painful. 
i havent been unwell no obvious infection, im generally a well and fit lady who runs and lifts weights. Which i havent had the energy to do since mid December, Im 31. I am currently on sick leave as I'm constantly exhausted, never felt anything like this, so much so im having to sleep in the day, im having episodes of rigors, chills but apparently my skin is on fire and lost half a stone. My wrists and knee aches and it takes a while for me to 'wake' up in the mornings. Im feeling pressured to go back to work and this isn't helping.
can anyone offer any advice or reassurance. 
 

thank you for taking the time to read this x
