Hi everyone. Can anyone give any advice please. My lymph nodes in my neck, jaw, colar bone are all very swallon and hurt like hell. They have been playing for a couple of months now, but I had to go to see gp as when I touched 1 on my neck I had an awful pain 2 inches from that node. Gp thinks and hopes the blood test will come back as just a virus. But Im worried sick. I have other problems fibro. cfs. underactive thyroide. ddd. fs. Just had 2nd blood test as thyroide was playing up but its settled now. My fathers side of family have almost been wiped out with cancer. He had Acral malignat melanoma. Never before have I had swallon lymph nodes Im 47.

thank you and sorry for going on and on. x

    Hi Paula. I have had Lymphoma (diffuse large B cell lymphoma), non Hodgkin's disease, which is cancer of the lymph nodes. Cancerous swollen lymph nodes are almost never painful so the fact that yours are is a good sign. Let me know what your blood test results are, and try to stop worrying.
