I'm new to this forum, just found it tonight. I have a soft lump above my collar bone about the size of an egg, I've had this for 5 months now. I went to the Dr. she sent me for a chest xray because she felt what she thought was lumps there also but it came back fine. My white blood count was high. She put me on antibiotic, I've been on that for 8 days now but the lump has not changed any. I have no pain at all around lump, I do have pain at back of my neck. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this and if so, what is it. My Mother has Leukemia, I know it's not suppose to be hereditary but this really has me scared. Thyroid and everything else came back fine. I stay tired all the time, some days, I stay in bed from the time my kids leave for school until time for them to come home. Anyone have any answers as to what this might be?

This is a reply to # 332,960If it's right above your collar bone in line with your cheeks it could be a swollen lymph node. Swelling without pain may indicate some sort of infection. If you're tired all the time, have you considered chronic fatigue syndrome? I don't think it's cancer. My experience is that cancer is really hard to the touch.

MoreThis is a reply to # 332,967Thansk for your response, my concern is Hodgkins disease as it can start with swollen lymph nodes, I've read alot on the internet about that today. I think as long as it's been is what has me worried. It's not responding to Antibiotic and it's been 10 days now and still no smaller.

I had swollen lymph glands for years, then they started to be painful! I understand how worrisome that can be. I have chronic fatigue symdrome, and two things helped a lot for this. B-12 injections for the swelling 3 times a week, and glutathione for the pain 3 times a day. Worked like a charm. There could be lots of reasons why your lymph glands are swollen. Perhaps an immunologist could help as they specialize in the immune system?

MoreThis is a reply to # 332,960I suggest you may wish to have the swollen lymph node investigated further, especially as it is not painful to the touch and has not responded to Antibiotics .
At least it would put your mind at rest.
Sorry to hear about your mother. If she is not responding to conventional treatment you may want to look into macrobiotics for leukemia.- Re: Lump above collar bone poohbear33

This is a reply to # 332,974Thanks for responding. I'm kind of worried about Hodgkins disease at this time as long as it's been. It's been 10 days now that I've been on Antibiotic and still it's no smaller. My Mother has responded to treatment with Gleevec until the last month and now they want hher to think about the bone marrow transplant so, that's where we are with that.

This is a reply to # 332,983I'm glad your mother is responding.
I'm more familiar with non-Hodgkins disease and while there are many reasons for enlarged lymph nodes its probably best to rule out the most serious possibilities first.
Hope everything works out well.

This is a reply to # 332,9603 months ago I had lump suddenly show up, right above my collar bone. The lump was somewhat hard and fairly good size, and didn't hurt. A CT showed it wasn't cancer, so I wasn't too concerned about it. Another, smaller, harder lump showed up next to the first. This time I went to a surgeon who did a biopsy. By this time, I've been getting weaker steadily, nauseated, light headed, general feeling just bad most of the time. Started taking 1-2 naps each day and sleeping more at night. I also had alot of back pain and lower abdomen pain. Well, I had a biopsy done this week on the lumps and have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The very first thing to do is a biopsy!Advertisement

This is a reply to # 332,992Thanks for your response. I hope and pray everything goes ok for you. I've just got the one lump that Ive felt. I dont what you say have abdominal pain, as far as that goes, I do feel like I stay bloated all the time. My pain in the back of my neck is getting worse, it's to the point that I can't rest without taking pain pills and they don't really help too much with the pain, they just make it bearable. I definately stay tired all the time. I go back to my Dr. this Friday and I'm gonna insist on her doing a biopsy.
