Hi

Does anyone else suffer with “shotty” lymph nodes?

I am wondering if this is what I’m suffering with. I had a really bad ear infection a month ago and since then I’ve noticed a lymph node in front of my ear which is about 6/7mm x 2/3mm.

I’ve seen doctors but they think it’s from the infection. It’s not painful. I check it maybe 100 times a day since I noticed it and it’s driving me crazy.

How will I know if it’s follicular lymphoma? I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and it’s ruining my pregnancy. I am not sure how much longer I can go on like this, I know I need a biopsy but it’s so hard to get the doctors to take me seriously

Sounds like a normal shotty node to me. You’ve only had it for a month so it can’t possibly follicular lymphoma. You’d be experiencing a slew of symptoms. Trust your doctors and enjoy your pregnancy.

Best Wishes
