Lymph node - life changes so quickly

By *nglishCharm OP Man over a year ago

Hi forum, let me share my current experience.

December a swelling/ bump under my left armpit, went to my local GP as 5years back had skin cancer same arm. Told shouldn't worry looks like I'd picked something up and bruised my arm.

Go back end of January as concerned still there and increased in size, GP tells me it's not looking good and starts urgent ct scan, stool sample, bloods... now I'm awaiting mri scan, column camera etc as within 30 days,from lump, it is cancer, one of 4 types all of which are serious. I'll beat it, so within 30 day's my life is on an thread... never knew one simple lump could be a life changer... Connor

Monkey and bones, skin cancer is a difficult one the senior consultant told me last Wednesday my melanoma although cut and gone could now be metastatic melanoma wtf that means I'm not sure.. I hope you're OK, mentally the wait is hard, try and be strong, that's me saying that as I watched Dawn break birds etc walking my cockapoo earlier.

Sorry to hear about your situation.

A friend had lymphatic cancer some years ago. There is hope. It is considered one of the least invasive cancers to cure and has the highest remission rates.

Good luck, this is a battle you can win and it will help if you believe it.

I'm up for the fight, three children in their 20's and a company to run, men, women with rent, mortgages, bills to pay so I need to think of those that have been loyal for year's... Connor

Metastatic melanoma means melanoma that has spread somewhere else, other than the skin. We hope you are coping and receive the very best treatment. Best wishes

I lost my partner to a cancerous brain tumour. I left my job to care for her. But unfortunately she passed away in September 2018. A month later I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. The worst thing for me was having to go back to the same places I took her for my treatment. I had surgery April 2019. They took 19 lymph nodes and 3 were diseased. But in a few days I will be 4 years disease free. It’s been a tough few years but hey I’m still alive and kicking. Keep fighting mate

I’m currently going through a similar story to the poster. Cancer is very much life changing and the one I have is a super rare one that only 1 doctor will ever see it in their working career. Any lumps and bumps that you don’t think are right or normally get them checked and battle with it if you don’t think it’s right. What looks like a cyst may not be one as sarcomas look like them

It's very brave of you, OP, to open up your life to all of us. I see how hard this can be for people but you have a great mindset, that will help a lot in the next few weeks/months with treatment. I know of a few people who've gone through cancer treatment and they say one of the biggest battles is of the mind, once you get over that, the physical ones become a bit easier to handle.

You can share here, if you don't have others around you or don't feel able to talk to them. There are always metaphorical shoulders to cry on here.

Mr KC had a lump and lymph glands removed from his neck in Nov 2020, fortunately all came back fine in the end but that was his first general and first proper time in hospital and he was so nervous and frightened and he's normally like iron. We are all fragile at the the core.

Dude, I’m undergoing tests for lymphoma currently. I know how you are feeling. Everything is pointing that way. Had to push for the Ct that picked up the abnormalities. They need to take a biopsy but have basically given up on trying to get there. I need a remote controlled device to go right through my stomach. I’m pushing like hell right now, they also found an abnormal lymph node on a lung . Yet they won’t just open me up to check. It’s taken since October to still have no diagnosis.

So many of you have experienced similar cancer, all the kind remarks/ advise have helped, I'm enjoying each day, my outlook on values so different. Life treating others so important both strangers and friends, giving love support and help..

Strange how this has opened my eye's and mind, huge life change...... thanks NHS and all of you.... PET scan next then drugs

I have blood cancer and macmillan dont help at all..only there 4 terminal ppl..get money in will..they would even help me fill in a form..nothing

Get your cancer nurses to get on to them for you. T was given a grant which we were able to use towards a short break in the country prior to his stem cell transplant.

Wishing you the very best of luck with your treatment xx

Highly unlikely that the use of 420 reduced your tumors.

Doctor couldnt explain it was 6 weeks from chemo as tumours were 8mm in size..the only thing i did diffrent was start vaping 420.doctor said it was ptob that..so whats yr med q..to know it werent...?

Happened to me 10 years ago, small pea size lump in my neck turned out to be throat cancer - caused by HPV virus transmitted from oral sex. 6 months of treatment, and 5 years of checkups to see if its returned (these were very stressful for me). But 10 years later, despite some long term side effects, I’m alive and kicking, and fucking like there's no tomorrow!! So best of luck, determination is the best medicine but it sounds like you have that.

Just came across this thread, and I’m actually quite familiar with the subject. But as I’m undergoing treatment in France, some of it might be in Franglais: to cut a long story short, probably too much sun resulted in my developing a pterygium (Surfer’s Eye) and a melanoma on my right leg that I didn't bother to get checked out until it metastised and, of course, by then it was too late. BRAF negative, NRAS positive, the cancer’s “walkabout” will travel via the lymphatic system upwards through my lungs, heart etc. to the brain, summat or other on the way will be fatal. Can’t be stopped, only slowed down. Diagnosed end of July last year, CTAP brain and thorax scans 25th July, PET-scan 10th August, specialist suggested immunotherapy, 1st session of PEMBROZILUMAB on 11th August. Not sure whether or not the NHS would have reacted so fast, post-code lottery I guess. Subsequent CTAP and PET scans, immunotherapy sessions every six weeks, the next one (7th) being on Tuesday 2nd May.

Constant monitoring of blood to check side effects of the treatment: hypothyroidism sorted out with L-Thyroxine, ACTH has just shot through the roof, will have to see next Tuesday what needs to be done about that.

Current situation is that the cancer’s reached the right femoral lymph node and is travelling North. If I thought crying and moaning would slow anything down that’s what I’d do. But it won’t, I’m not gonna lose sleep over something I can’t do anything about, suggest you take the same approach.

And for the rest of you, USE PROPER SUNGLASSES, A HAT, AND SUN BLOCKER!

Good luck to all who are going through this journey at the moment. It was breast cancer in 2006 for me and thanks to early detection I’m still here. Oncologist was worried it had travelled to my lymph nodes so removed them all from my left arm, nothing detected thank goodness, lumpectomy and treatment left me with lymphoedema which I happily cope with considering what might have been the alternative.

A huge mass to which is healing well, thank God they are not cutting again. Now PET CT SCAN, then Immunotherapy, this will be drip fed at hospital every 2/3 weeks,6 months approx, as fit, well and young (ish) big doses... let's bring the scrap on, I will win the side effects and enjoy life. What a wake up call, last few month's life changing, maybe more considerate now to others.

December a swelling/ bump under my left armpit, went to my local GP as 5years back had skin cancer same arm. Told shouldn't worry looks like I'd picked something up and bruised my arm.

I've just been diagnosed with cancer in tonsil and spread to lymph nodes.

Undergone all the tests and biopsy and recently had tonsil removed and neck dissection to remove tumours.

Hopefully, once tumour / tissue results obtained we can move onto radiotherapy and / or chemo.

Thanks god for morphine, the pain is off the scale.

Hope you are moving forward and wish you good luck for a decent outcome.

I was diagnosed with cancer in tonsil with leakage into lymph glands in neck.

Had tonsil out, and lymph glands removed, big long op with a big scar from under ear to chest.

Having daily radiotherapy and several rounds of chemotherapy.

Its bloody brutal especially the slime and pain in mouth (thank god for morphine) sickness and fatigue.

Funny enough, consultant never mentioned the HPV virus causing the cancer was due to me sucking far too many cocks but he did burst out laughing when I tried to blame Paul.

hope your well, you’ve been off a month already

Touching to read this thread and in such a setting so to say. All my years on here iv never posted on forum! However this is the exemption. I had Hodgkins 2B when I just turned 25! All good and fighting on

However, this goes to everyone, as we approach the new ratio of 1:1 and yes sign of the 2:1 is still common but only 10 years ago it was 3:1!!! So really think about it… Truth is there is many preventatives- no salt, no sugar, no processed foods etc.. Obviously important factors! Unfortunately we live in toxic times no matter where you are

After meeting many people who have never smoked or even d*unk then to see them go through some of the worse cancers had me thinking??? Look at many homeless people who manage to survive no matter what, then think is a clean life really the path or is maintaining a level of toxicity and adapting to our new age environment… What I’m trying to say is screw it lol we all do here so live life to the fullest! But not in a material way! In love, in repairing the overlooked because of distractions! Be with family as much as you can and if not new friends or even in one’s self with nature

To fight such cancers you need to become harmonious with nature as this is the key to repairing RNA and DNA due to resonant frequency’s. Earth yourself out to the soil barefoot and I promise you will fill the difference after 10mins especially for some who find it uncomfortable because it’s been soo long! Lol believe it or not! Stay active obviously. Also look into what big pharma does not want to you to see! Vitamin B17!!! Eat all your apple seeds!!! And no you won’t just get cyanide poisoning! Stay away from fake vitamin D3! Toxic! So chop your mushrooms up and leave them in the sun!

You all get what I’m saying, look at the old ways things were done? For a reason back in the days! Because nature is our only true weapon against cancers and other diseases! As seen with the scamdemic. Enough rant lol

Get yourselves to your local beach, roll your pants up and have a paddle.

The beach walks have really been helpful over the past few months.

When you watch a couple of dogs, screaming towards some seagulls, tails waggling furiously with nothing but sheer joy across their faces, you can forget your worries, even if only for a few seconds.

I sound like my grandad, god bless him, he'd take great mouthfulls of sea air and mutter some comments about how that will keep the bugs at bay...

Sending best wishes Op.

My ex partner had a lump in his neck, size of golf ball. I frog marched him to GP so glad I did, as he was diagnosed with oesophagus cancer. Took care of him for awhile. My friend died of same that year he got diagnosed.

Hope all is well as well can be op.

Our son had the exact same thing just before the first lockdown….. GP was excellent….within a week he was in Christie’s….. long op as it had spread to every lymph nodes in his body….. all started with a few nasty looking moles….. op was fine and now fully recovered….. he was studying medicine anyway so decided to also undertake alternative medicine treatments….

As someone who has had a prostate cancer journey, I can understand what you are going through. Be positive and stay strong - you CAN do this! All the very best.

Hopefully he is ok and he has found the love of his life and is happy now.
