Lump deep in neck for 6 months

Hi there, I have had a smal hard lump in my throat for 6 months now that has gotten bigger. I had an ultrasound done last Friday and he confirmed it's a lymph node and I am being scheduled for a biopsy. My symptoms are what's concerning me, night sweats, bruised body, chronic headaches and tiered all the time. Itchy skin, my hair is thining. I have chronic loose bowel movements. I was wondering if anyone has had similar and it's been nothing? I have high infection markers, high white blood cells and low platelets in blood tests and urine comes back the same, blood in urine, ketones, white blood cells in urine. I was on antibiotics but it didn't clear any thing up?  Today I feel like death, I have a dry cough that has been getting worse over the last couple weeks. I'm just looking for advice really, I'm 24 years old 

  • Hi Rhirhimeg and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about your symptoms. It sounds like you have a lot to contend with and it's completely understandable why you're concerned but it's good you're having tests to find out more and fingers crossed it won't be long before you have your biopsy.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will get back to you soon but I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and hope things start to improve soon.

    All the best,

  • Hi Steph, thank you for getting back to me! 
    Unfortunately only one of my tonsils has swollen in my mouth now. No signs of an infection so I'm trying to stay positive. I had my blood tests yesterday and I'm waiting for the results before I can move forward with a diagnosis.

     

    best wishes
