Enlarged Lymph Nodes

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I've been on this list for a while but never post. The other day I had a

routine mamogram and mri for breast cancer screening. The next day I got a call

from a dr. saying I needed to come back for another mamogram, an ultrasound, and

possible biopsy because he found an enlarged lymph node under one of my arms -

said it was there but smaller last year (thanks for the news a year late). He

said my breast tissue looked fine, and it didn't look alarming. But maybe he's

just saying that to keep me from getting hysterical on the phone.

I've been reading that enlarged lymph nodes are somewhat common with RA.

Hopefully, that's what it is. I can't believe I would actually say that.

My question is, have any of you had similar experiences? I am just freaked out,

and taking anxiety meds to cope.

Thanks for any advice.

D.
