Collarbone lymph node

[Kyrae]

I was over thuis, but it came back! I have few small palpable nodes in neck but one on left collarbone and is freaking me out! I did have a ct scan - to reassure me and I WAS, I was so happy when doctor told me not to worry is from viral infection... But now I am thinking the scan might have missed the collarbone node and cancer is spreading everywhere! I also have a stuffed nose for months and a cough sometimes. Vague pain at left side! HELP!!!

Anyone? :blush:

It is getting worse and worse... I don't know what to do anymoren... The collarbone thing is still there... I wish I could rely on the CT-scan, but... I wish I wouldn't worry so much... It's terrible...
Can anyone feel glands above their collarbone?

You need to try to relax. I bet your clavicle is very tender from you constantly probing it lol. You had a CT scan and ur doc says its fine try to believe them and stop probing for nodes. Try to limit urself from touching them. Stay calm and enjoy life!

Dear Nivekc251

Thank you for the reassurance. I know you are right, but is not simple.
I tell myself everyday that I have to leave it alone, but... it is stronger than myself... Anyway, I am going to try.

The doc (and also specialist looked at scan) didn't even mention something about the collar bone lymph node... so I guess when they had the slightest worry, they would mention it...

Although I've read some stories online (of course) where someone eventually had cancer despite only a pea-size lymph node...

Why is this so hard? I wish I never felt this area, I wouldn't even know... I wish I could be normal... :(
