Hi New and lost
If there’s anything that’s worrying you I would give the hospital a ring, especially if it’s hot and painful.

I am worrying about everything at the moment
You are going to...it's an awful time waiting for results and all we can do is try to keep busy and I always recall how many people here contacted their GP for mild sleeping pills if they were getting worn out from little sleep. I suppose if you had a core biopsy the lymph node might bleed inside which would probably account for the shape change.
Are you having an MRI on Sunday?

Good luck. It's a long scan and some of these rooms aren't the warmest so wear something warm. Your biopsy result should be through in two weeks, all results will go to the multidisciplinary team MDT before your next appoint. You will feel much much better when a plan is in place and we are all here for you in the meantime.
(MDT where healthcare professionals from various relevant specialties come together to share patient information and collaboratively decide on a comprehensive treatment plan)
