  • Hi Connor and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Any unusual or persistent symptoms are always a tad worrying but I'm glad you've consulted your GP as they will be able to provide you with some answers and put your mind at ease. 

    It's good you're approaching this in a positive frame of mind Connor as it will help whilst you wait for your blood test results to come back and I hope the tips and advice given in this article will help keep your nerves at bay as well.

    Fingers crossed your lymph nodes are no cause for concern.

    All the best,

  • Hi Connor, 

     

    How did you get on? 

    I'm in a similar situation. Swollen lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. At least one has been there for 6+ months and more are popping up. I've seen GP, been referred for chest xray which is in a few weeks and I'm having a private ultrasound done next week hopefully, as otherwise I'll be waiting 16 weeks or more, even with an urgent referral. I'm worried sick. 

    I really hope you've had some positive news since you posted.
