Hi I’m new to the group and wondered if anyone has any advise? I have recently be diagnosed with anemia and has a ct to investigate why it is so low. The scan showed an enlarged  distal para esophagus lymph node. I am now awaiting an endoscopy to investigate further. I suffer with reflux And have had two hiatus hernia repairs which both failed. I worried as to whether the lymph node is enlarged due to oesophageal cancer??

  • Hi  and welcome to the online community

    When you are waiting for tests it's natural to assume the worst and I'm guessing that you've also been 'googling'.

    Although no one here is going to be able to tell you why your lymph node is enlarged as you are obviously worried that this points to oesophageal cancer so you could join the oesophageal cancer group where you can chat to others about what their symptoms were.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
