Supraclavicular lymph node

Posted , 1 user is following.

hi, I have a swollen collarbone and collarbone area (left side only), no visible lumps. I had a CT scan (no contrast), which was fine according to doctor, but there was a 1.4cm (14mm) supraclavicular lymph node on left side, almost directly under swollen area. he said to make a follow up appt which i made for 3 weeks later as im doing uni exams, which he was fine about. I then googled supraclavicular lymph nodes, to check if it was a bother going back. I was scared, with stats saying supraclavicular lymph nodes are the most wortrying and likely to be mestatic especially from adbdomen and lungs. Everything, expressed these lymph nodes to be worrisome. I also after the CT that day had an ultrasound, but the lady said the node was too deep and she couldnt reach it, she then said and told doctor, its likely a reactive node, but she didnt actually do an ultrasound on it. I had CT of cervical spine and collarbone and no other lymph nodes present. I am now obviously super worried and the earliest I can get to doctors is in 2 & 1/2 weeks time. Does anyone have any experience with this or give anymore information? much appreciated 😃
