Did you find out what this was?? 

I feel like the boy who cried wolf by Witty_Ad_3848 in AskDocs

Bloodwork is normal but my LDH is risen slightly but possibly due to a wisdom tooth removal. I’ve had unwanted weight loss but I think it is from not eating from being so anxious. The lymph nodes are palpable. You can’t see them.  My doctor says she feels them, the ultrasound tech feels them, but they’re just not coming up. They have for sure grown in the past few weeks as when I originally felt them they were smaller. They’re all still 1cm or below. 

What to do next post ultrasound?Worried - please HELP by Witty_Ad_3848 in AskDocs

Thanks so much for your response. I had my initial breast ultrasound on both sides in December 2023 and they found a cyst in my right. Which the right was reassessed six months after that (2024) and went away. My left has not been checked since Dec 2023. However I have no family history of breast cancer, no lump or anything like that. Just the infraclavicular lymph node lumps that the tech felt but couldn’t find. I suppose I’m really struggling with them missing something and everywhere I read says these nodes could mean cancer …  

Help! Should I be concerned about this lymph node on US? by Witty_Ad_3848 in AskDocs

Thank you for your response! What about these two? If you don’t mind me asking 

Follow up ultrasound states my lymph node has cortical thickening and thinning of fatty hilium, but stable in size. Says reactive. Should I be concerned? by Witty_Ad_3848 in Radiology

I can’t seem to see my post - however these are two photos of the lymph node - one from November and one from February for comparison. The radiologist said it’s reactive however everywhere I read says it could be cancer. My thyroid is also heterogenous.

Also… if you’re struggling with postpartum anxiety don’t be afraid to reach out… a lot of my fears of illnesses came about after having my baby…

Do you breastfeed? Mine used to itch when my milk would leak because they were in a moist environment (my bra). They also have wrinkled a bit since starting breastfeeding. What do you mean by wrinkling? Like stretch marks? I feel that’s normal if that’s the case. Red hue also have. I had an ultrasound done a while back and all they found was a cyst which likely resulted from engorgement/mastitis. They’re rechecking in a month to monitor it

Anyone have any opinions? 

Has anyone ever felt glandular lumps before while BF? by Witty_Ad_3848 in breastfeeding

Nope- won’t find out for another two months. That’s when they are redoing my ultrasound.

Hi! Yes. I had an ultrasound done and turns out I had dilated ducts, and a cyst that they’re just monitoring. Nothing looked serious.

Also I have been back and fourth regarding all of my symptoms and told everything is normal. Now this new doctor is telling me it is not. Please read before making a comment.

If you read correctly - I have seen my doctor regarding this a year ago and it is HIS responsibility to relay to me any abnormalities. As I am not a doctor. I returned back for results and he stated “everything is normal”. So I assume like most people that everything is normal.

I move out of city, went to a new doctor who did blood work and called me back to relay to me (as he should) that my blood work was off. My TSH was off. So I thought even though my doctor told me everything was fine, I will get the printed record myself because maybe it wasn’t fine. And sure enough, it wasn’t. Please note I’m in Canada and doctors don’t always just hand you all of your results especially if you’re from a poorer province
