Hi, I'm really new to this so please bear with me. I'm nearly 42 and I got diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis approx 7 years ago. Skip forward to sept 2019 and Sept 2020 where I had a lump in my left armpit and was referred by my GP for a mammogram both times, and the appointment in Sept 2020 I also had a core biopsy. The results came back all clear. From September to approx April this year I had an enlarged lymph node in the right side of my neck/face I didn't think anything of it and put it down to infection or inflammatory issues. I had a rheumatology appointment back in April 2021, where my consultant wasn't happy with my progress and she asked for me to have a full complete blood count and referred me to have a CT/PET scan, which again I was absolutely fine about. Towards the end of May i received a telephone call from my RA nurse who had stated I needed a biopsy on the right side of my neck. I had been fastracked and two days later I was at a ENT appointment awaiting to have a biopsy on my enlarged lymph node. When I was at this appointment I had and ultrasound scan and the consultant decided that it would be best if I had an excision of my lymph node above my collarbone. I was also told that there were several other lymph nodes raised in my neck. Again I was fastracked for this operation and had it on 11th June. I have received my follow up letter today from ENT for a telephone consultation on 28th June. 
 

I suppose what I am asking really is has anyone else had two separate biopsies before? The Breast biopsy came back clear, and obviously I'm awaiting the results of the excision of the lymph node. Im just wondering could I have been misdiagnosed last time for everything this time to have been escalated so quickly! And has anyone else ever experienced anything similar before? Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance.
