Hi everyone
I posted a month or so ago about swollen lymph nodes. I went to the doctor regarding a swollen node behind my ear, he sent me for a ultrasound. The ultrasound found that I had several swollen nodes on the left side if my neck and I had to go for a rescan that was today.
Today I had the rescan, the nodes are still swollen but look the same as on the last scan. The sonographer said the nodes are reactive and are about 0.6mm. He thinks they could be related to my ongoing wisdom tooth trouble. My husband was with me and told the sonographer about my anxiousness. He then proceeded to scan around my left side collarbone where the nodes are normal. He showed me one of my swollen nodes on the screen and showed me like this heat image of it that shows the fattyness or something, he explained about being suspicious of nodes that mine are enlarged byt they worry more about nodes 10mm or bigger also that the heat image pattern is not what they would regard as suspicious.
Anyone had similar experiences. He said he will send report to my doctor and see what he says. I am still worrying tho why are they constantly enlarged I am scared of cancer :(
