Hi, I am a 27 year female I just got discharged from the hospital last night on an MRI of my cervical spine they found 2 enlarged lymph nodes, one measures 1.6 CM and the other at 1.8 CM, my doctor is now sending me for a soft tissue neck catscan to rule out lymphoma, my white blood count is elevated and I am very worried about this, can someone give me answers ?

    Hi Dana!

    I am also 27 years old and I have been dealing with swollen lymph nodes and several other symptoms for 8+ months.

    I have been through 4 ultrasounds of different areas, multiple blood tests, extensive blood work at a hematologist office, a CT scan of my soft tissue in my neck, my chest, abdomen, and pelvic region and most recently I had a fine needle aspiration of an enlarged lymph node in my neck (1.8 cm) which came back negative for lymphoma.

    I have been fearing lymphoma for several months and specialist let me know that lymph nodes can swell for tons of reasons.

      I have had multiple xrays and some with Barium swallow.

      CT scan with contrast of neck area.

      Ultrasound of neck area.

      Upper and lower GI

      Multitude of blood work done.

      Stress tests/24 and 48 hour Holter monitor/EKGs/Lung function tests.

      I do drink A LOT of alcohol and have drank for 6+ years almost daily..

      My doctors just shake their head when they see me come in. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and Globus from am ENT
