Swelling near left collarbone

Hi all,

Over the last few months I have noticed a swelling near my left collarbone. After being to the doctors two months ago, I was told it was nothing to worry. I returned today for a second opinion and I am being sent for bloods and an ultrasound.

When I press the swelling, it doesn't seem like anything is there but I can see it in the mirror and feel the swelling while running my fingers over it.

I am absolutely sick with worry already and can only think of the worst right now. My partner is telling me it's nothing but I feel like he's only trying to make me feel better.

I was wondering if anybody has had a similar experience before please?

    I'm glad you managed to get a second opinion and have been referred but I can understand the worry and stress this can cause in the process.

    Many of our members have been in this situation so will understand what you're going through at the moment and will hopefully pop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    Fingers crossed everything will be o.k.
