small lump in my neck, I had an ultrasoun, it's swollen node Posted: 09-25-07 18:42pm


Hi, I'm a 19 year old female..I came across a small lump in my neck I felt it August 6th...It's on the right side about 2 cm up from my collarbone. I have been so worried about this for the past two months.( my mother had Hodgkins Disease, but has been cancer free for the past 6 years) . So I keep thinking I have some sort of cancer. I've seen 3 doctors about it and all they told me is that " it feels too small, I wouldn't worry about " .."give it 6-8 weeks"!!!! So I finally went to my family doctor and I really wanted something to be done about it . I had an ultra sound done on my neck and they said it's a swollen node but they don't know why it's swollen , so they wont me to go back to my family doctor so he can check on it (make sure it hasn't grown I guess)..and then they wanna book me for ANOTHER ultra sound..I seriously feel like I'm gonna go crazy with all the worry I have. I have no other symptoms the doc said it's a 1 cm mass. It hasn't grown or got smaller since I first felt it. Can someone please give me some advice , what to do ? What they think it is ? If anything similar has happend? I keep thinking the worst and everyone tells me to think positive but it's hard waiting . THANKS FOR YOUR TIME !!! MELISSA

Hi! Swollen lymph node can be due to various infections in certain part of the body and due to cancer. Swollen but painless lymph nodes are the most common sign of Hodgkin's lymphoma, often occurring in the neck. Are you experiencing some other symptoms? Waiting for your post! All best to you! Marija
