Enlarged lymph nodes

A few months ago my sister noticed she had a swelling in her neck and went to her gp, she got sent for tests and so far as had 2 lots of biopsys, xrays, various blood tests, ultrasound and a full body CT scan, bloods were all normal, xray fine, CT scan fine and biopsys came back as 'none worrisome' but they still don't know what it could be. She has no symptoms of lymphoma apart from the swollen nodes in her neck, we are all absolutly worried sick and she is now being referred to another hospital to another specialist, has anyone had anything like this before and what was the outcome?

Thank you 

  • Hi Heather3757,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read the worries your sister is having - I'm sure this must be unsettling for all of you as it's never easy when there is this uncertainty.

    These sorts of things can vary person to person so the best thing is to try to wait for the opinion of the specialist at the next appointment. Try to take the positives from the clear results so far, although I know it's difficult.

    I hope you're able to find out more before too long.

    Meanwhile if anyone here has similar experience then hopefully they'll be along here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
