for 5 months i've had two swollen lymph nodes under my chin, painless and pretty large. i went to my primary doc and she did some blood tests and everything was normal save for a little bit of anemia, but to play it safe she sent me to an ent.
first appointment with him was all of 5 minutes. he felt my neck, but only the area i had pointed out, told me he wanted a ct scan and to come back after that. then he asked me if i was feeling any other symptoms, but didnt specify symptoms of what? i told him i'd been sweating at night and had little to no appetite. he scribbled something down and then told me to schedule an appointment with the lady at the desk.
2 days later i had the ct scan, and today i did the follow up...only it was like a 180. he said that my lymph nodes were in deed enlarged, and then went on like i knew what he was talking about, size and shape wise. my first appointment he seemed at least a little interested in my nodes, but today he told me that it was probably nothing to worry about and he wants to just watch and wait. . .it's already been almost 5 1/2 months now...how much waiting does he want? so i asked him what else could be done, then he went into a byiopsy, talking about removing my node.
finally we settled on doing another cbc, and something to look for virus' in my blood, so i'm stuck waiting for the results and feeling really frustrated by his seeming lack of interest. i dont know if my worrying is unnecessary but i've had a bad run with docs actually paying attention, and i just dont want to miss something that is literally right in front of him.
any advice would be appreciated greatly
