Enlarged lymph nodes, biopsy ultrasound next week. Worried

Hi Everyone, 

 

i have two enlarged lymph nodes on the left side of my neck for more than 3 months. I did ultrasound sound and CT scans which reported that they are reactive. This morning I received a call from hospital to invite me for Biopsy ultrasound next week. Does anyone go through this? I do much worried why they will do biopsy :(

    I don't have much information but I'm going through a very similar situation. I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck since November and am due to go for my biopsy ultrasound on Monday. 
    I have had ultrasound biopsy's before and it's the only way to really confirm or rule out something. My doctor keeps telling me that it's just to rule out something nasty. Doesn't help the worry though so I can completely relate to your concern I'd feel better if they said exactly what they are looking for but I hope all goes well for you

  • Thank you for getting back to me. I hope you are ok. They called me this afternoon to confirm that the biopsy is booked for Monday next week. They said the ENT asked for this not my GP. 

  • No problem it's a scary process. 
    i had an urgent referral for haematology waited 2 weeks for the appointment but the consultant called me and told me he wanted the ultrasound and biopsy done first and that he would see me when the results come in 

     

    Lymph nodes and swellings have got worst while waiting which obviously doesn't help I just want to get it over and done with now 

     

    how are you doing ? ♥️
