Hi, I'm posting because I'm worried about a swollen lymph node on my left collar bone. Of course, I've gone ahead and scared myself witless by doing the very thing I always tell other people not to do and Googled it. I've got rheumatoid arthritis and am on immune suppressants so have regular blood tests and since July my lymphocytes have been steadily rising, still in range, but only just. I know that that could also be a sign of cancer too. I have had chest pains and breathlessness for a few months, but my ECG was fine and I was given an asthma pump (which didn't help), I thought the pain could have just been due to my RA. Now I'm worried that I may have a tumour or something in my chest. I had a CT scan on Monday and now just waiting for the results, but it feels like torture to wait. I'm trying not to act or look worried around my family, but frankly I am really scared. I don't really know what I hope to acheive by posting this. It just helps to openly share my concerns without worrying my family unnecessarily. I sound like a hyperchondriac.
