      I’m here again mostly bc of my uncontrolled anxiety.
      These are the findings of my ultrasound. I’m seeing my surgeon tomorrow. He’ll probably suggest biopsy. I was wondering if anyone had a similar US finding and what was the outcome. Thank you all .
      FINDINGS:
      Multiple small left axillary lymph nodes are identified the most prominent
      measuring 0.8 x 0.5 x 0.8 cm, 1.3 x 0.3 x 1.4 cm, and 0.8 x 0.6 x 0.9 cm. A
      0.8 x 0.6 x 0.7 cm left axillary lymph node demonstrates absence of a normal
      fatty hilum and mildly ill-defined borders..

      IMPRESSION:

      Atypical appearance of a subcentimeter left axillary lymph node measuring up
      to 8 mm in diameter. Further follow-up as clinically indicated.

          Suzanne;
          An ultrasound only reports that something does not look the way it is supposed to. It can’t really tell you what it is. I am sorry you are feeling really anxious and I understand. I have been there and still go there when I am getting my scans and biopsies. But as my pastor tells me, “It ain’t nothing until it is something”! I try to remember that credo and use it when I am starting to worry about a result. Hope your appointment with your surgeon goes well!
          Blessings,
          Ted
