Hi, I have always been troubled with enlarged lymph glands in the neck my whole life, when I was younger it was my tonsils poisioning me so they were removed, (attacking my kidneys) when I was older and had enlarged lymph glands in the neck it was put down to having remnants of the tonsils left behind inflamming. When I got other symptoms it was suggested I had glandular fever but did not show in blood tests. When I was an adult I had worse symptoms with it and it was discovered I had a low grade connective tissue disorder (at the time they thought Lupus) it was treated with sulphasalazine. Blood tests when I got BC revealed that during the past 12 months I had contracted Glandular Fever, but as I was so sick with the connective tissue disorder I thought nothing of it. Glandular Fever is suggested as a trigger for BC, I found this info on the net. Now I have discovered my connective tissue disorder is not Lupus but Sjrogens which attacks all the saliva glands, similar to chemo therapy. The interesting thing is that they now treat Lumpus with chemo, Methotrexate, the "M" in CMF. Methotrexate is also used for Head and Neck cancer, hence the enlarged glands in the neck. Is their a connection, you BET YA!!!
Love & Hugs Lyn
