very scared

Hello

It is a just over a year since I was diagnosed. I went for a follow up appointment with my surgeon today and he examined me and said I had an activated lymph node on my other side to treatment in my armpit and asked me whether I’d cut myself which I hadn’t but it had been a bit itchy and I thought it was a rash from shaving. He said I need a mammogram (which I had expected) but also a ultrasound of both armpits!

I had a mammogram which was clear thankfully but one of my lymph nodes is swollen slightly (on the other side to my the bc) and so they have taken a fine needle aspiration from it and I’ve got to wait a week for the results.

I can’t believe it, I feel sick and shaky and feel like it’s all going to start again. There is no reason to think it is suspicious, if I hadn’t had cancer they wouldn’t think anything of it but because I have they have to proceed with caution.

Has anyone else had anything like this??
