Hi all & Happy New Year,
I apologise if this is a bit long winded but I appreciate any advice that is offered.
Since October I have been extremely worried about swollen lymph nodes in my neck, clavicle and as of a few weeks ago my groin. I've gone down the anxiety wormhole a few times and lymphoma is at the forefront of my concerns at the moment, however I feel as if my doctor is leading me down a different path and I am worried that my lymph nodes are going to be overlooked as I have a large multinodular growth on my thyroid for the past five years and have previously had surgery to remove the left lobe, and there is still a sizeable lump in my neck from the right side.
I am waiting in a biopsy oF my thyroid, however I was wondering has anyone ever asked to have a specific lump or node biopsied to put their minds to rest? A recent ultrasound showed that my supraclavicular lymph node is hypoechoic, round in shape and that the fatty hilum is not visible. I know that these characteristics can be linked with cancer so I really want to get it biopsied, but my doctor has only requested a biopsy of my thyroid nodule!
Has anyone had a similar experience or advice as to what I should do?
thanks!
