I completely understand, I’ve had two cancers (one of them in my lymph nodes)  so you can imagine my anxiousness of having to live with enlarged lymph nodes! It doesn’t help when most things you read tell you the lymph nodes should go down within weeks! It’s like pure torture.

Easy said but try not to worry, you have been checked out and done all you can, it’s crazy how much anxiety lymph nodes cause isn’t it? 

Hi 

I just read your info....I presented with a lump on collarbone under arm and on nipple, that was dec 2020, I had a needle biopsy in nipple they weren't concerned. 

I heard nothing, so thought all was OK.Then end August this year my doc re referred me...the lump 8n nipple bigger and other lumps were still there.

I had ultrasound,  he said nipple/ areola could be a small cancer.

I had a excisional biopsy on 3rd Sept.....results 17th Sept....I have invasive ductal carcinoma grade 2! I was shocked

I am now having a lumpectomy on Friday 1st Oct and sentinel node injection/ radiation. 

I am so scared , they removing my nipple and checking nodes...they said they didn't see anything on ultrasound...but they already made mistake when they discharged me in Dec 2020 I am scared I don't want to die!!! 

Kind thought to you  

June

My goodness with your history no wonder you feel anxious. I'm not googling anything now, I did at the start and found this thread but I'm keeping safely within these boundaries. Hopefully they go down for us all soon!

Hi

So pleased to know you are better now xx May I ask what the cancer was and where it was please x if you don't mind , I am anxious about mine x

Hugs

June  

Yes I wonder this too, plus everyone has different immune systems. It certainly causes a lot of anxiety though! 

Wishing you well 

Hi June,

Sorry to hear you are going through this, it must be a really scary time for you. Cancer can be a lonely place in the mind when everyone around you is getting on with their lives, if you need someone to talk to you can message me if you like.

Sending love x

It was cancer in the upper left breast that was invasive and had already spread to the lymph nodes under my left arm. It was fast-growing, so the waiting around for scan results and treatments was a difficult time. However, I was in the hands of a great team, and I got through lots of waiting in waiting rooms and lots of treatment. You just have to let it all happen. Life continued during treatment, such as carrying on cooking, walking the dog, even playing tennis and editing a magazine three times a year. I did have some brain fog, digestive problems, bruising, lost my hair for a while, but it grew back even better than before! It's great to be fit and healthy again, just not taking life for granted and worried about any new symptoms - I've been scanned a few times but to date no cancer found since the hospital treatment in 2015/16. Then I lost my elderly dog and some friends (before their time) in 2016 due to other causes. The lymph node coming up was a big worry, until I found this forum. Thanks, everyone!

Hope all will be fine, June xx
