Lump in lymph node
Hi Everyone,
I am slightly panicked at the moment as I have had a lump in one of my lymph nodes (cancer side) that seems to disappear at will!!??
I was with the lymph OT the other day and told her about it she had a feel and said what this lump? Of course yet again I absolutely freaked out but tried to keep my cool - paid no attention to a word she spoke about for the next 20 mins only to tell her that it had gone again and sure enough she couldn't feel it??
I have since gone to my doctor, who works with my breast surgeon so should be in the know and got a referral for an ultrasound she couldn't feel anything and wasn't too concerned which relieved me immensely, HOWEVER the lump is back today and has been there all day I cannot rationalise it at all and can feel the stress levels rising.
Has anyone had anything like this happen to them?
Would this be a bad omen if it was a local recurrence whilst still in active treatment??
Will I get to sleep tonight??
Thank you for any insights offered
Jenny x
