Swollen lymph nodes and fatigue

Hi all   

First time poster..

Yesterday I went to the drs because I found a lump above my collar bone. When she checked me over she found swollen lymph nodes in my groin, armpit and neck. I had a blood test today but they referred me for an x-ray and submitted a hoemotology cancer referral. I had a call from the hospital today and I've got an appointment on Tuesday, which is really quick as I was expecting a two week wait. 

I don't have any other symptoms except fatigue and I feel absolutely fine.

Just really wanted to come on here and ask if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms?

  • Hi Jen. I'm in the same boat and came here via a Google search. 

    Like you my symptoms seem to be mild relatively speaking. I've had the swollen lymph node on the side of my neck for about 11 months, chronic fatigue, a continuous sore throat that just stays there and occasionally surfaces to the top and stiff neck and shoulders. I also clench my teeth which complicates the source of my symptoms. 

    I had 2 ultrasound and a fine needle biopsy, plus extensive blood tests, no one really tells me the results of anything and keep sending me to appmts for further testing. I have a Pep FDG scan coming up and I'm rather nervous. My next consultation with any kind of doctor is at the end of the month. I'm in my 30s and never drank alcohol or smoked in my life. I'm hoping it's just s really bad infection! And not the dreaded lottery no one wants to win, Cancer.
