Scared about lymph node

Hi, I've never used this before and have no idea what I'm doing. This is rly a last resort. I have health anxiety. 10 weeks ago I found an enlarged lymph node under my collar bone. Only appeared when I move it. I went to see doctors and they said to come back after 6 weeks. I've had no infection to make it swell. It's still here now, I've got a docs app soon but I'm sure all they will do is refer me to get an ultrasound, which means more waiting. 3 weeks ago I had blood test and all came back normal. 

My anxiety is awful and after looking on the internet it says  that the collar bone ones are the worst and should always be treated as abnormal. I'm sick with anxiety and honestly don't know what to do. :( 

not sure how this will help but idk . 
 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, lucxooo.

    I'm sorry to hear that you found an enlarged lymph node and that this is causing you to be worried but I'm glad you went to have your symptoms investigated and the test results came back normal.

    With the waiting time to your next appointment, I can appreciate why you're anxious but try to think that you have done everything you could up to this point and that stressing won't help. Try focusing on other things in the meantime if at all possible.

    If you find yourself worrying too much though and feel that speaking with a medically trained person might help, please know that our nurses would be happy to chat with you and are available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
