hi guys,
i have been worried now for the past 2 weeks about a gland that is enlarged in my collar bone area. i was playing football 2 weeks or so ago and hurt my shoulder. its been aching since. but obviously paying more attention to the area drew me to the gland.
it is a little smaller than a pea in size is directly above the collar bone in line with my ear. it is moveable and a lil hard.
i have had anxiety issues for 2 years on and off and am finally going for a ct scan on monday to relay my braint umour fears. but now this is more on my mind and worrying me to death.
i do have sme pain in the area generally but not sure if its the gland causing the pain now?
i have been to a&e 9 days ago, my gp twice and to the walk in centre today and all have said it feels a normal size and does not particularly worry them?
i had blood tests in march altho i realise hodgkins and non hodgkins doesnt show on blood tests really.
if it was a lymphoma how quick would i notice it getting bigger and when should i start to worry.
any help would be great cause on top of the fear of my ct scan things are gettting a lil much for me to deal with! :(
cheers guys
