Hi.
You noted an enlargement of the lymph nodes both in your neck and groin areas. An incision biopsy of the lymph node will give you a more definite diagnosis. By this, adequate tissue will be taken for histopathological evaluation. It would be best to go back to your doctor and push for a biopsy.
Relax and stay positive.
Thankyou for your support Dennis. Got up with another concern this morning. I felt really ill yesterday and today i have an ache under my rib cage(right side). If i push there it hurts and i get an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. I am back with the haematologist next wednesday so should hopefully get a date for the biopsy of the nodes. It is hard to relax, considering the size of the nodes and other symptoms i am having ,i know it's not particularly good. However, i will try to stay positive.
Hi.
How are you feeling now?
The chest pain you experienced can be caused by a variety of conditions. If you push or touch the chest area and experience pain, the pain could be musculoskeletal in nature. Perhaps you strained your muscle the previous day. But then again, that should still be investigated further as this could be related to your previous complaints.
Please do post your updates.
Hello again Dennis, Thankyou for your continued support and yes i will keep posting. I am glad i found you guys to talk to, this really is a wonderfull place!! I'm feeling quite bad really. The pain under my rib just feels like toothache at the moment and my throat feels a little raw. So tired that i have to sit or lay down even after mild exertion. Had some good news yesterday from gastro, biopsies of stomach and colon came back clear and there is no sign of coeliac disease. Only thing is, the more good news i get like that really narrows down what could be causing all my problems doesn't it? X
Hello again!!!! Recently, you asked me to keep posting new developements, relax and stay positive. Am really trying hard to do that, but this morning i found another lump, just below my collar bone, right side. It's only small but quite hard. I know that lumps above are not a good sign, but what about below?? I am also having some pain in my neck and it sometimes hurts to swallow, but it's not a sore throat hurt, if you know what i mean. I am at haem next week but it doesn't seem to be quick enough. Thanks for listening
Regards
Teresa
Just an update. Got my biopsy booked for the 2nd of April, both sides of groin now 3 cm. x
