Thanks so much for the advice! I don’t know for sure if it is reactive or shotty (or malignant, but trying to keep my brain from going there). I feel like I could only cope with having it there if I could know it’s benign! □ I’m on a 12 month waiting list for high intensity CBT, and I’ve just finished low intensity CBT which didn’t really help much. It’s the location that terrifies me.if it were anywhere else it wouldn’t concern me too much. I was just hoping there was something I could try, in hopes of it shrinking. Maybe it would have got bigger regardless, but I’ll never know □*♀️ I’m just assuming “shotty” because of the damage I might have done messing with it. I know this isn't the answer you're looking for but sometimes our bodies don't go back to "normal" and we have to learn how to cope with the changes.īest WishesThanks so much for the advice! I don’t know for sure if it is reactive or shotty (or malignant, but trying to keep my brain from going there). I finally started using the CBT techniques I was learning in therapy and now I don't even think about it. I was just like you and CONSTANTLY touched my lymph node. This may be a situation that you have for the rest of your life and the real remedy is learning how to cope with having it on your body. I have a shotty lymph node on my neck that has been around for 2.5 years. Shotty nodes are lymph nodes that were once reactive and thus enlarged for benign reasons and then never go away. Unfortunately shotty lymph nodes generally do not go away. I’m overweight, and its toward my sternum end of my collarbone, so not the easiest to locate! I’m not even sure she made a proper effort to feel it. That’s 3cm!! We all know that rule does not apply to the collarbone nodes.which is why I feel she fobbed me off because of my HA. I cannot handle this feeling □īut my GP said it’s not a worry unless it’s as big as a grape. Rationally or not, I’ve not felt this frightened in about 2yrs. but I’ve not been ill, it’s been nearly 2 months, it’s growing and the collarbone area is an unusual and dangerous place to find nodes! It’s like a puffy baked bean sitting on the bone! I first noticed it in early dec and I estimated it to be about 5mm.Īnd today is about 9mm. I just waited for them to go down in their own time.īut because this one is on my collarbone and the rules are slightly different in this area, I’m completely worked up! I have a 2cm lymph node behind my ear, and recently had a 2cm one one the back of my neck too.butvthey didn’t concern me. Deep breaths this is your anxiety taking over xx It doesn’t always mean cancer.Īs for your tonsils i told you what that was already and it’s normal. The one behind my ear never went down fully and I can still feel it but not on other side. Fast forward it took 6 months for the one st the front of my neck to go down until I couldn’t feel it. It just kept bringing up lung cancer! Well I calmed down and remembered the lymph node behind my ear was half the size it when I first found it at that point. I googled that specific node as I found out it’s actual location name. Eventually plucked up the courage to go to the dr, she said yes lymph node if it’s still up in a few weeks come back and we will test to make sure it’s nothing nasty like cancer and you’ve got one right at the front of your neck swollen too! Well I wasn’t even aware of the one at the front of my neck. Left it a month hoping it was just a cyst. I had a lymph node come up behind my ear.
