Fast tracked to hospital swollen lymph nodes

Hi, I am really worried as went to docs yesterday for a lump on back of head, that is at it turn out a cyst and also that my lymph glands had been swelling and painful on and off for last few weeks.  Had an examination of lymph nodes in neck, arm pits and grains and she has referred me to oncology unit at hospital for more tests.  It has come as a real shock since I have no other symptoms. Really anxious now worried I will test positive with Lymphona.  Anyone else going through the same?

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Mooreb.

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but I'm glad you took charge and went to see the doctors to have your symptoms investigated.

    The waiting game can be the worst, can't it? But I hope that now you won't have to wait for much longer to have your tests done and, more importantly, that they will show nothing sinister.

    Once you know more, please come back to give us an update. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you.

    With best wishes,

  • Thankyou.

    My appointment cam through very quickly fir next week but I had a phone call and it has been put back a week at the rapid haematology department. Is this a normal occurance at the moment or does it mean I am not as urgent as someone else?
