Hi Joby00,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. To be honest it's difficult to offer any advice or suggestions about this as really it's only the medical team who can do this, so it's good to hear he has the referral to find out more.

Hopefully it won't be too long to wait for the appointment and to get some answers.

Wishing you all the best,

Hi Joby,

I know this is a while ago now but did you get a diagnosis? I have the exact same symptoms. Thanks.

HI Tim, 

My partner was referred for an emergency scan and it ended up being lympnodes severely swollen up due to a vaccine, a less common side effect. It took a few months but did end up going back down. I really would advise you to see your GP even if just for peace of mind and hopefully its lympnodes or something straightforward but it's definitely better to know whats causing it.

Hope it goes well. 

Thank you for replying! So glad to hear your partner was OK!

I've had a ultrasound which put me onto fast track cancer referral. Not had results yet but I hope it's something similarly benign!
