would this be considered night sweats?

Hi Brooke,

Any Lymph Node should be checked by your doctor as soon as possible. They will refer you to probably see an Oncologist, whom will ask for blood tests and Ultra Sound tests to be done. Cancer can show in blood tests, but this can be a false/positive result. Ultra Sound is better since they can see it in detail.

I would book an Appointment with your doctor ASAP, and see what he/she says, but I expect it will be a referral.

I have had cancer before and only recently been signed off from remission.

Hope that helps,

Regards,

Les.

Before you keep guessing.  I would ask a doctor.  The lymph mode could be a swollen gland and sometimes can become inflamed and goes away by itself.   I do not know what lymph glands do depending on where it is.  As far as sweating.  I sweat head, neck, face, arms,mchest. Legs, and groin.   Not just one place and not always all the time each place.  Under breasts can sweat just because of growth, hormones, anything.   No one has told me why I sweat so profusely or when.  And it is very debilitating.  It seems very hard to diagnose why if it isn't the typical Hyperhydrosis which is face, hands and armpits and feet.   None of which I have except face along with head.....sorry I couldn't help, but don't give up....

 

I don't know if they would be considered night sweats Brooke, but in any event you need to get the lymph node looked at asap, to rule out anything nasty, don't want to scare you but please don't ignore it and get to your doctor.  Hope it turns out to be nothing (probably is ) x

Hi Brooke. Have exactly same symptoms as you. Including the not so excessive night sweat and lymph node. My doctor told me to track the growing of lymph node and said right now it's not concerning but I'm still worried. Did you have a diagnosis? Did it go away? Thanks

I'm 32 and also have night sweats on my chest. Not enough to change clothes but it leaves me a bit damp. I've been going through a lot, I found old tests I've never seen from a year ago that showed that I've had high WBC count for three years! No one told me, also tested positive for a auto immune disorder which they also never told me. I then contacted my new doc and she had me come in for more blood work. Tests were the same so she sent contacted an oncologist who ordered me specific tests for chronic meloyd leukemia which came back negative. They don't think I have a auto immune disease now, If anything it's the start of one. I found a lump under my chin that my doc thinks is a lymph node and to watch for a month. I developed a rash on the sides of my mouth. It's been one thing after another. I've never had ANY health issues before so this has been a horrible few months. I also have a 14 month old who I still breast feed. I'm hoping the night sweats are due to hormones from that and not cancer. I don't mean to sound weak but I don't know what I'd do if that were the out come. They want me to come back in two months for more blood work and if still high do a bone marrow biopsy. I guess to look for other cancer. I have a feeling it will still be high since it has been for three years. Has anyone go through this at all? I've been so worried. It's been one thing after another and I really thought this would all go away once the lukemia tests came back but it's not.
