Swollen Lymph Node on Back of Neck - White Blood Cell Normal

I have been feeling a bit run down this past week and noticed on Thursday a lump sticking out the back of my neck. Saw doc Friday and she said it was a swollen lymph node and found a few others on the same side. I have health anxiety and my stress levels are sky high - thinking I have lyphoma. She did bloodwork and has posted my results but i have not been able to speak to her yet. My WBC is normal - i had hoped that would be elevated to show sogn of infection. The RBC, Hematocrit and Hemoglobin are on the very high end of normal. 
 

I will call on Monday to discuss the results but sitting here thinking the worst.

  • Hi dmf22,

    I'm sorry you haven't received a reply up to now - I see that you are planning to speak to the doctor today, so hopefully it won't be long before you find out more about what's going on.

    Make the most of your appointment and ask the doctor any questions you have so you can get the answers and hopefully reassurance you need.

    Wishing you all the best,
