Hi Stacey,

im going through a similar thing at the moment. Left lymph node swelled in what seemed to be response to infection but then never went away and is now rock solid. Been for examination from my doctor and he said he can move some of them (I hadn't even noticed several others that had swelled I was so concerned about the one on my neck!!) and is sending me for an ultrasound even though bloods came back okay. Now worrying about every little pain and ache I have thinking it's already bad news. 
 

hope you're okay and always here if you need a chat 

Stacey (lol both Staceys are having the same problem at the same time, very weird) x

Thanks for your reply! How weird that we have the same name and going through the same thing ha! Do you have any of the other concerning symptoms? It's so stressful isn't it?! Any idea when you'll hear about your scan? X 

Hi again! 
 

finally got my letter through and it's a couple of weeks wait for my scan, going have sent myself mad by then with the nerves! 
 

as for symptoms I've got the massive lump on my neck, and have had pains in the other lymph nodes a little but unsure if this is just anxiety. Also have pretty bad pain in my back and shoulders along with night sweats now and again but unsure if that's just with the weather at the moment haha 

hope you're okay!

Hey Stacey and Ruby!

How are you guys doing? I've just had my scan through which isn't till the end of July so not sure how I'm going to get through the next month because it's driving me round the bend!

Hi Stacey, 

glad you've finally got the scan appointment, seems we're all just stuck on the waiting game now. It's also driving me up the bend, I'm trying not to self diagnose or google too much but sometimes you really can't help it as I'm sure you know all too well!! 
 

hope you're doing okay :happy:

Sorry to jump on, this is basically my symptoms down to a t. Had blood tests which have come back normal so am awaiting to be seen again this week!

Can I just ask with the itching, is it a symptom to itch only in that area or can it be extreme itching all over the body? I have a lump on the back of my neck, but itch all over my head, chest, stomach and have for quite a while! 
 

hope your scan comes back ok

My itchiness is head to toe (and is 10x more annoying than the neck lump!). They keep putting my itchiness down to eczema though. Have you been given any sort of treatment for the itchiness? I've tried steroid creams, light therapy and immunosuppressants before the lumps in my neck appeared.

Hope you make some progress with the doctors next week

How did it go? I've got an appointment in 2 weeks but I'm on holiday this week and hope symptoms don't get worse :(
