So went to breast clinic today after finding an enlarged lymph node around the collarbone area,on my good side consultant sent me for ultrasound saying they think it’s nothing to worry about as I’ve had my Covid vaccine that side 4weeks and clear mammogram 3weeks ago Shrug tone2‍♀️ can I just ask when doing ultrasound he said it’s definitely an enlarged lymph node and doesn’t seem worried Face palm♀️ so why has he done a biopsy? Any1 else had a biopsy and it’s come back ok? 
I know I keep asking but I just need to think straight ready for results in a week....Pray tone1Fingers crossedTwo hearts

  • Hi , sorry you’re having this worry, assume they do the biopsy to be absolutely sure it’s ok. There’s a thread about enlarged lymph nodes after Covid vaccine in the Diagnosis and treatments section.  had this issue - hope you don’t mind me tagging you? The biopsy came back fine so all was well. Have a look in that section and you’ll see the posts. Sounds like you’ll hopefully be given the all clear too - wishing you well and do let us know how it goes. Love and hugs, HFxx

  • Hi  and , I did indeed have that problem! Enlarged node picked up on CT scan on my ‘good’ side. This was 2 weeks after Covid vaccine. Biopsy done which came back clear...just a reactive node to vaccine. I’m sure that’s what it will be. I was told the hospital had seen a few ladies with the same thing. x

  • Honestly such useful information. Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been too scared to check elsewhere xxx

  • Liz o riordan also wrote abojt this in her blog- she had two enlarged lymph nodes In her neck after primary diagnoses. They were so large that they were visible. I can’t remember what it was, but it wasn’t cancer recurrence.
