Swollen Lymph Nodes

Hi,

I am worn out with worry over my swollen lymph nodes. It started with one in my armpit, GP prescribed antibiotics to rule out an infection but made no difference, so then referred me to the breast clinic and after an examination and a scan I was given the all clear but told to come back if the node gets bigger. Few weeks later I notice it's got bigger and also I found one in my neck on the same side. GP referred me back to the breast clinic and for a scan on my neck. Thankfully breast clinic said I'm fine and nothing to worry about. My scan has showed a U2 benign nodule but on my right side of thyroid. Thankfully nothing to be concerned about. Bloods also came back clear. GP has now referred me to the hematology for further tests as I have found another lump on the back of my neck, just by my armpit and in my groin. All on my left side. I'm trying to see the positives, but I am also worried that there is something wrong. Has anyone been through this or something similar?

    I'm sorry to hear about your swollen lymph nodes but I'm glad that you are being seen and that the tests you had so far showed nothing sinister.

    We do have other members here who have gone through a similar experience, and I hope some of them will come along shortly to chat with you and offer their opinion. Until then feel free to join to the conversations here, as chatting with those who can relate does seem to help.

    Once you know more from your haematology tests, please come back and give us an update. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you.

    All the best,
