Just updating this thread as new information comes along.
Had a gastroenterologist appointment today after being referred by my GP. He wanted me to follow up on the stomach pain I was experiencing around the time I was also experiencing swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
The PA I saw was took a look at my CBC and abdominal ultrasound results and was not concerned with either given that my symptoms have almost completely gone away. I did have a liver panel blood test done just to be safe and I should be getting the results soon.
Still think I may have something going on as I have some soreness/inflammation in my left shoulder, armpit, and pectoral with some slightly enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit as well. Basically my left pectoral seems to be much thicker and more tender than on the right side. Never noticed it before but I'm hoping it's just residual swelling from an infection. Of course, my mind wants to jump straight to male breast cancer but that's even less likely than any of the blood cancers I've been worried about for almost a month now.

Another update here. I got the results of the liver panel back and everything was normal.
I also just had an appointment to get a follow up ultrasound on my neck. I still have some enlarged lymph nodes so they did a biopsy on one of them. I should have the results within 2 days. It was hard to tell but I don't think the doctor was too concerned with the size of the nodes.
As a side note, I don't feel too much on my neck right now due to the anesthesia but it's definitely already swelling up bad from the multiple needle injections. I'm sure I'm going to be sore for the rest of the week and will probably have a big ole' bruise tomorrow haha.
Hopefully the last update for a while.
Got a call today about the results of the biopsy. Came back normal and the ENT said he was 99.9% sure there is nothing sinister going on. Everything seemed to point to the nodes being reactive.
However, because some of the nodes are still a bit enlarged he is scheduling me for a CT scan in a few months to be absolutely certain.
In the end, this seems like it was all a fairly mild case of mono. Worst thing that came out of it was me worrying myself silly and my swollen/sore neck from the biopsy.
IM so happy for you!! What size was the node dr biopsied?
