Update on Lung Nodules

Thought I'd update everyone after all of the wonderful support that I received on here. I attended my outpatient appointment to find out my PET scan results as I'd been told that one of my three lung nodules had increased from 6mm to 7mm.

I was absolutely petrified as to what the Consultant was going to say as he seemed to get me into clinic quite quickly I felt. Apparently the nodules have not increased in size and so I will have yet another CT in November. The only thing is, they found that my lymph nodes in my neck are enlarged so I'm to have an ultrasound guided biopsy. I'm relieved to say the least about my nodules but obviously I'm not celebrating just yet until I know what is going on in my neck. From December I had kept telling multiple GP's that I felt pressure on the right side of my neck but they kept dismissing that and all the other symptoms and have been keen to diagnose me as anxiety or depression, it's only recently when I asked for a senior GP to request a private ultrasound to check my neck (as I wasn't happy with the feeling there) that he reluctantly requested one, of which is planned for next week.

Has anyone any experience of lymph node issues in their neck please?

I am really pleased that your nodules are behaving themselves. Here is hoping that they disappear or at least calcify.

I have no firsthand experience with the lymph nodes in your neck. It appears there can be many causes for this so my advice is as with the nodules, do not worry about it, it will probably be minor and of little consequence. I can give you a reputable link:

It's good news about the nodules, but I'm sorry to know you're now having problems with your lymph nodes. And how infuriating that yet another person and their concerns has been flippantly dismissed as anxiety. Katinka46 would likely have something to say about that. Thinking of you 🕊️
