Two Lymph Nodes Swelling On Right Side Of My Neck Posted: 09-27-07 23:06pm
I have a lymph node on the right side of
my neck 3/4 way down that is pea-sized and
does not really move and is attached to
some sort of tissue for approximately 8
months and then I have a football-shaped
lymph node on the right side in the
supraclavicular region (about 1 inch above
collar bone.) That one I noticed about 2
days ago. Neither are really painful,
except when messed with too much. Have
lots of cancer history in my family. My
mother died at 42 of cancer. She had
Hodgkin's then breast and lung cancer. My
aunt had breast cancer. My grandfather has
lung cancer. Any advice or information for
me?

Hi!
Swollen lymph nodes in neck can be due to
injury near the gland or when a tumor or
infection occurs in the mouth, head, or
neck. An infection or tumor in the areas
of the lungs, breasts, neck, or abdomen
will cause enlarged lymph nodes below the
collarbone.
I don't wanna sound negative, but I must
note that swollen but painless lymph nodes
that are occurring in the neck(upper part
of the body) are the most common sign of
Hodgkin's lymphoma. Are you having some
other symptoms?
Do you have a low-grade fever? Are you
experiencing night sweats? Do you think
you've lost weight purposelessly? Do you
have constant fatigue? Do you find your
skin terrible itchy?
Best wishes!

2 Lymph Nodes Swelling Posted: 09-28-07 08:08am
Some other symptoms that I am having are a
cough for about a year or 2 that won't go
away that is productive - I am a smoker of
15 years. I have been tired a lot
recently, but I have an 11-month-old girl,
so I thought that was the reason. I had
been having some night sweats, but I
thought that it was because my house was
getting too hot in the middle of the
night. I got a chest x-ray the other day
and still awaiting the results.

Hi!
If Hodgkin's lymphoma affects the lymph
nodes in the chest or the lungs (the
peribronchial lymph nodes and the
bronchial walls and the bronchial mucosa),
coughing and breathlessness can occur.
Do you have bleeding problems, such as
heavy periods, nosebleeds or skin rush of
small red dots? Are you experiencing pain
in some parts of your body or swelling in
your arms or legs? Did you suffer from
some infections recently?
Please, keep me up date about your chest
x-ray results!
All best to you!
Marija
