![]() ![]() If for some reason I’m ever actually dying, I’ll try to remember to touch base here, but until then, I’m alive with some big ass cervical lymph nodes :) I have a wild amount of random symptoms, but no doctor is ever concerned and say I act/look healthy. I’ve had some significant illnesses in my life too, so I also assume the nodes have stayed enlarged after being sick. I had a positive ANA test last fall, so my immune system is ramped up over something. They’ve always known there’s something wrong with me immune system wise, so I assume that is where this all stems from. HOWEVER, one of them does feel like a big grape to me, but on the ultrasound does not fit the “concerning” criteria. I guess they’re more likely to be malignant if they’re a ball shape, mine are all irregularly shaped. I’m worried, but have high hopes it’s nothing serious and my body is just really doing it’s job.Īll of my big nodes are less than 1cm wide, which is a big factor. since this new one is the biggest, I’m being referred to ENT for a biopsy just to clarify it’s not malignant, even though you can typically see that on the ultrasound. I’ve now had them ultrasounded twice, they have normal fatty hilia and no vascularity, in other words they look normal they’re just really big. emphasis that these are all inches, not centimeters. Then on the right side I have a new one that’s 1.5”. I have 2 lymph nodes on the left hand side, one is 3/4” and the other is 1”, I’ve had these for at least the last 7 years (since I was 16). Just chiming in about my lymph nodes to possibly ease some anxiety for some people - even though i still have anxiety about them daily lol Any chance you guys have gone through something similar I nearly avoided all of this and I’m so confused I want to say that it’s the infections but they were big before the infections. I’m guess I’m looking for closure I want to move on from this. Then after 6/7 weeks from ultrasound I got a tonsillitis infection and also pierced my ears they got infected- both treated, I came back for a ultrasound today and she said similar size and I’m so scared for results. I had a chest ultrasound aswell no masses. ![]() Start of this year I noticed one thought nothing of it and then more became problematic and I’m very skinny so can see them, most are moveable and all are painless 18weeks ago I got a ultrasound from today and they were similar size, I wasn’t sick I have iron deficiency anemia I’ve struggled with for years, so tired and ect.
