In january I noticed a few swollen lymph nodes in both axillary areas. My gp treated these with antibiotics and a course of steroids. A mono test was negative and my cbc showed only elevated eosinophils. In may the nodes were still enlarged. I went to see my gyno for my yearly exam and mentioned the lymph nodes. She referred me to a surgeon, who was in the room 2 minutes and determined that I had no enlarged lymph nodes. My gyno then sent me for a mammogram because she was concerned with the size of the nodes she was feeling. I have since had a clear mammogram with only the nodes showing. I also had a pelvic us because of an enlarged uterus. The us showed a 2 cm cyst on my left ovary and a mildly enlarged uterus. My gp then sent me for an axillary us. It showed enlarged lymph nodes with 3 of them being 2.5 cm. I now have found a small swollen node in my neck and 2 medium sized nodes in my groin. I am having some ruq pain occasionly and right lower back pain around my period but otherwise am not having any seroius problems. Is all this tied together? Am I worrying for nothing? What next?
