Anyone else get or had swollen lymph nodes in armpits that keep coming up and going every few days? I don’t have a cold/virus or anything like that, so am beginning to wonder if this is something I need to be keeping more of an eye on? Or am I just panicking? I’m new to my diagnosis (March 2023 was my total thyroidectomy and May was confirmed papillary carcinoma, I had no lymph nodes checked etc as they weren’t expecting to find cancer)

thank you . X

I would definitely mention it to your MacMillan Nurse, or Consultant, or Oncologist if you have seen one yet, if only to put your mind at rest @Dots2023, you can never be too careful. I have a rogue lymph node in my neck which has been checked out twice now and I have been told I have nothing to worry about, but I had 60 lymph nodes removed and 14 were cancerous, so I am not going to delay contacting the team if I am worried about anything at all. Best wishes x
