- One of a series of films we produced to help patients, their families and carers learn more about some of the most common tests and procedures used to diagnose and treat blood diseases.
Patients who have previously undergone these tests helped us to design the videos. Each film clearly explains what the procedure involves and addresses common issues and concerns including:
Why your doctor recommended this procedure
What you need to do to prepare
What you can expect during the procedure
What you need to do afterwards
Not every patient will be referred for all of these tests and practice may differ slightly depending on where you are treated.
Each film is available in English and also with subtitles in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Farsi, Polish, Portuguese, Somali, Spanish and Turkish at:

This is incredibly informative thank you so much!
I just had this done this morning. Only thing that hurt was the needle/Med from the lidocaine to numb the area. I didn’t feel the 5 samples being retrieved (there was a loud sound from whatever they used to take each sample but the doctor warned me right before each snap sound). I’m a little sore tonight in that armpit but it should subside. This was much easier than the last biopsy I had 8 years ago in almost the same area.
I got to have it done I am not fright about it
Pls where did you do yours quit impressive I can’t deal with surgeries.
I had it done at the hospital in Kansas
What kind of doctor did you see yk had this done?
I’m not sure what he specialized in because it wasn’t my regular doctor/oncologist.
I need to get this..I have big underarm pits that I didn't kno was swollen lymph nodes..omg, now I kno the reason & want to get it treated lol.
Thank u
I have just biopsy two weeks ago for lymph nodes under my armpit. Will have appointment for result this monday. It wasn’t painful at all, just a bit from the needle for anesthetic but after that it was all pain less based in my experience.
Hi how were you’re results hope you are well. Did your underarm hurt after the biopsy ?
Thanks for sharing! I have mine in one week and am terrified
Did you feast a day before ?
Plz update us❤️
On my prayers 🙏.
Thanks for informing me.Im going in for biopsy/surgery next Tuesday and am super nervous 😣
hey good luck tomorrow. I am having one done too soon
@@justfelixjedlicka1387 thanks!I saw the surgeon last week & he scheduled a mammogram and an appointment with another surgeon for a hysterectomy.I am excited but scared at the same time.I hope everything goes well for you!
@@shannalae3907 thank you. :)
How r u now dear I’m having lymph node in my right armpit and feeling extreme pain in my right side breast uhhh 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 tomorrow I’m going to doctor for check up😢😢😢
@@akka4903 still get sore in the knot/lump under my right arm.The surgeon sent me for a mammogram but I had to reschedule so I'm not sure what will happen.If it's any relief to u though the surgeon did tell me sometimes it's just a hormone issue or a stopped up sweat gland.I hope you get better💙
Does this happen to males to? My brother has something under his arm but he says he's too ticklish for this..
I have my lymp in my left breast a hard movable as the doctor said it's 2xm and I need to do biopsy by this week...
I'm being positive it will be ok
Can a CT Scan check by detecting under armpit Lymph Node to have cancer ?
Having had a Mastectomy & 1 sental Lymph Node removed nearest to the breast which had cancer
But then the Surgeon did another operation after having my Mastectomy & removed 5 Lymph nodes under my armpit which came back negative no cancer had spread there but could this have been prevented if the CT Scan was read properly ?
Does the CT Scan detect cancerous Lymph nodes ? ?
Now after a year I have a small bump on my Mastectomy scar can it be a keloid or benign? ?
Or dead fat cells on the surface on my Mastectomy scar ? ?
Will the Biopsy Show if the bump is cancerous? ?
Also I had a Mastectomy & 1 sental Lymph Node removed on the chest & All other Lymph nodes Negative what are the chances of cancer reoccurrence on my Mastectomy scar ? ?
Please Advice me urgently thank you I await your reply soon
Also a 9mm or 2cm bump on my Mastectomy scar Biopsy was done does it mean it's deep in the scar or the bump was before going all flat after the biopsy is done ?
Also do you have the right to see your CT & Biopsy Report results? ?
How are you now
I had ultrasound yesterday cz i had a lump on my right armpit they said they gound a tissue not nothing to worry about so i have to wait 2 weeks to makr scan so they know what is really this now im scared 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 maybe i need surgery to remove it and its pain cz i touch it a lot

I have a swolen lymph node under my right armpit for 4 yrs already. Then last yr of november, i have also a swollen lymph node on left breast just under my nipple, and its painful.
Hi hey checked classic sign of breast cancer don’t mean to scare you but go see doctor or A&E
Hey, how are you now?
Plz mem armpit is painful and there is a lot of lump
Can the biopsy cause keloid scars to develop in people who are prone to keloids?
Yes, mine did. Try to care for it well to reduce scaring or bumps.
@@evesso7 😔
Will it leave a scar?
Yes it will dear
Not always! A needle biopsy won’t and a normal biopsy shouldn’t but might!
I am having Axillary breast tissue in right underarm.. I had fnac should i also do monography to chk for breast cancer pls tell me
I have lumps under armpit for about six months. Doc suggested to do FNAC test. Should I worried ? Is anything serious please let me know ?
@@ankitasachan4572 did you go to the doctor to get it checked?
Planet Ayurveda provide a pack for this named Swollen lymph Nodes care pack . This is a combination of Ashwagandha capsules, Kanchnaar guggul, curcumin caapsules which is completely pure and natural. My mom used the same and recovered very fast then before.
I have frequent swollen lymph nodes in my armpits (usually left). I am a female but young (15) so I doubt it’s anything serious. They do have visible bruising though and can be quite painful. Should I talk to someone about this?
Yes
Black Magic ! U LITERALLY JUST DESCRIBED ME
i have the samething
go to the doctor if anything is abnormal is a good rule
Yes get it checked now !!
My mother never took me in and now I suffer with a huge painful ball under my armpit each time I get pregnant 😩. I'm in my 5th pregnancy and scheduling surgery after birth.
I have lymph nodes near my neck bone and Dr has concluded that it is bcs of tuberculosis. But he is saying that he ll remove one of the nodes through surgery and test it. What should I do please guide me
Have you done testing?
I have one on my armpit but it's been there for over 2 weeks and I hope it's not a tumor.
I have had one under my armpit for about 18 years.It never hurt ...up until last month.This month it almost doubled in size and is very painful.I was referred to a general surgeon.Hopefully yours is just a cyst or absess.Best of luck.
@@shannalae3907 bro for me i have been suffering more than 6 months,one is producing a pass and the other one is just swollen,Give me an advice.
Hope all of you are okayy. I’ve found a lump had it for 2 months in my armpit. Too scared to get checked😅
@@steddy176 whic disease are you fearing for?.
Auto immune disease... like Lyme...
anyone can help me out I have 7 hard glands around my neck don't know what it is, i already undergo a nose biopsy
Hi! Are you ok now? Did you perform a biopsy?
Hello mam i have performed fnac test of cyst just in rt parotid region the result is no malignent cell is seen is it cancer or nor
It's not Cancer. Congratulations
My left armpit lymph nodes get swollen like a few days before my period but with a heating pad on it , it goes away. Should I be worried??
Better to get it checked,hope u had it checked
I have a biopsy coming up soon for my neck. Do you think I will be awake for that, or since it is so close to my jugular, I would be put to sleep?
I had one on my neck and was awake for it!
Charis Olivia I was indeed awake & it didn't hurt at all.
@@CharisOliviaa what was the recovery like? Was it a couple days or hours? How soon were you back to normal?
@@cassandradieudonne7709 if it’s a needle biopsy, there’s no recovery time!
@@CharisOliviaa oh sorry mine is an incision , they did the needle one before but apparently they didn’t get enough
Two days ago I started to feel a very slight pain in my armpit just in the evening, now I swear I feel a pea sized lump under my skin. I can’t tell what’s goin on if it’s just a weird break out or what. I don’t have a personal doctor rn and just don’t know what to do, considering a med station if it gets worse.
i have too and its very big and swollen im very nervous btw how are u doing right now?
I get these in my armpit, behind my ears on my neck but they always go away within a week, they hurt like bruises for me too.
To be honest I was going to get it checked out and it just went away! It was so weird I never experienced anything like it.
Same situation
@@iona5439 am also like that,Tel me the last update and if it possible give me some advice.
will it be done on me keeping me awake...........or i would be made asleep by an injection
Pain is after local anesthetic wears off. Sore for 2 days. Didn't feel a thing with the injection of local anesthetic and biopsy.
Have had a smalll swelling for years, thought it was a muscle spasm from my back. Got biger and the size was more
inside so I felt pain and pressure against my left arm. Only in past month did I feel anything there.
Had biopsy, waiting for results.
After biopsy woke that night with some pain, just took Tylenol and went back to sleep.
i am having this lymph node from decv , but actually my immune system is weak and i am frequesntly catching cold , so itmay be a reason fr lymph node. and also my lymph node was getting smaller in march to april but now i feel its back in its normal size it was in around january , the time when i seriously took it first.
actually no one believed me at first but then i became rigid and we visited a doc but doc too told that it may just be swelling
i never felt pain in it until i press it too hard like to crush the node, but i can sense it through my finger , its like a pea stuck there.............i just wanna know how can i be sure its just from infection or need operation.
am from india and now covid is in peak , so at this time visiting doc seems a lil risky , is there any other way to know that does it need a operation or will collapse on its own ?
I've done my biopsy, and idk why my lymph nodes is black..
is it cancerous?
What did you find out?
How many lymph node biopsies do surgeons usually do? Trying to determine experience level...what's the average?
I had one done today and honestly i felt so uncomfortable and scared at first but it's painless. My doctor did 2 lymph node biopsies. From 1 to 10 I would rate it 7.
@@hafsaa.7976 What was results

I am 16yrs old and I recently found out I have a little lump on my armpit (right) it doesn't pain,but something when I touch it pains a little,and it doesn't go away for almost 2 to 3 months ,should I be scared??does it mean am going to have breat cancer😭😭guys am freaking out plz help
if you don't have any lumps in your breasts, it's probably not breast cancer. it has to originate there in order for it to spread to the lymph nodes. if you have any injuries, that may be a cause for your lymph nodes to swell as well. if you're worried, DON'T just comment on youtube videos. talk to your parents & doctor and see about having an axillary ultrasound.
I have the same problem but mine is still here for about a month now. I'm 15 when I touch it it's a little bit painful but if not, no.
I’m feeling the same I’m 15amd half years old u won’t believe guys u feel so much pain exact sameeee problem I have which u have 😢😢😢 I hurts me alott u fell too much pain and I’m having it on my right armpit and feeling pain at the right side in breast 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 tomorrow I’m to doctor will tell u guys then plz u also have to go to doctor must go plzzz I beg y

Ap ko KB sy yh problem h
Im 12 and i got a BIG one under my arm and it popped one day and there was blood and clear stuff i think it was a lymph node
@@juliamanzo9775 dude thats not lymph node its just aa pus filled with blood and other stuff.. cool man
You can get a lymph node drainage massage from a dermatologist it sucks but it can help
by going to a doctor
lol shouldn’t feel pain. I had a biopsy on the right side really close to the center of my chest and it hurt soooo badly I was crying and I couldn’t breathe the entire time even with the amount of fentanyl they gave me during the procedure. Right after they performed an immediate CT scan to check for a collapsed lung. There wasn’t. Later that night I went back to the hospital because I was having issues breathing. I was in pain for days after and all of this to find out the the biopsy was unsuccessful and that the sample died in the lab. Had to go for a surgical biopsy a month later. This was my experience with a mediastinal biopsy for Hodgkin lymphoma
Omg thats terrible!!! SUE THEMMM
Are you ok now? What was the diagnosis for the new biopsy?
@@KADETUL9 Yeah I’m okay now! Haven’t done chemo since august 2020 and radiation since the beginning of January. They’re keeping a close watch because the radiation is still active, but they said I’m “essentially in remission”. The surgical biopsy said I had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma stage 1, bulking (tumours was huge), unfavourable (there was a lot of swelling in my blood). My doctor said it’s like a stage 2, but because the cancer only remained in one spot it was stage 1. They treated it like stage 2. I’m now just doing regular scans to check on the status every 4 months
@@Ewena. I'm glad that you are ok and defeated this disease! I hope it will stay in remission and not to come back.
How many months have you done chemo?
And second question is how did you know that you had a mediastinal lump? Did you saw it first on a x-ray or CT?
@@KADETUL9 Thanks! I hope it never comes back too. I did chemo for 6 months. Was 6 cycles of ABVD.
How I found out: I was in a lot of pain before hand so I would jokingly say I must have cancer, but maybe I knew. I did an x-ray and that’s how they saw it. They then sent me to the hospital when the results came in to do a CT scan. And then I started doing these things call PET-CT scans where it’s a CT scan and they make you drink this nuclear water that settles for one hour and it shows where there’s metabolic activity. The scan is so long. I’ve fallen asleep every time.
Are you waiting on a biopsy?
i am suffering from tb and my lymph node in neck both aide swell but not pain and in kidney and in lungs lymph node swell without any pain whta is the chance of dieses
My problem is same...I am suffering tb disease and my neck lymph node swell ...I can't understand
What was your early symptoms of tb????
Swelling of Lymph Nodes on your neck usually means you're suffering from upper respiratory infection. Because you have tb your lymph nodes enlargement, means they are reacting to fight off viruses.
@@marcpaolodayag6419 yes you are correct sir
Hello Gumaling na po ba kayu??
Is it nessery? Is it dangerous?
I went for a consultation the other day, the doctor said that it’s good to remove the lymph gland so that they can continue testing the lymph gland for medical conditions which could be fatal such as lymphoma
So I personally think it’s good to take it out so that it can have further testing and you’ll know for sure whether it’s serious or not
@@mishharrishun2172 have u got remove lymph node
@@mishharrishun2172 in which area?
@@mishharrishun2172 i hv under my ear
My armpit is hurting like hell. After ai gave birth there was a lump in both my armpit so I thought it was just the blocked milk duct, but the lump in my right armpit did not disappear. And Recently it really hurts a lot. I’m so scared and I’ll get checked this 22. Please pray for a great news.
@TRISH what about the news?
I head the same after I had my son, one in left never went away just smaller. I have a ct scheduled in 1 hour😢
UPDATE: The doctor just examined my lump and said that I should schedule an appointment for an ultrasound for the lump. Did not really get any great news since she just dismissed me. I’m having my ultransound this Jan 14th.
@@googleuser9266 I hope your results are just fine.
@@trish7256 They did my ultrasound first, couldn't determine what it was and had ct yesterday. Awaiting results but I know it'll be next week sometime. Keep me posted. Hope all is well with you also❤
Yo but is it dangerous though! Should I ignore it!

Ive got lymphnodes in my left armit groin and neck im freaking tf out yo
Deshea Shawn same
if they are swollen for 2-4 weeks go to a doctor
i've got one under my jawline. Been 6 weeks and it's still here. Been to the doctor and had ultrasound check. he said it's very very less likely to be cancerou (I'm 15 by the way), but check again if it's still there for more than a month. 2 weeks after that, i got my first night sweat. I'm freaking out. My mom also said it got a bit bigger, but i don't feel like it is. in 2 weeks, i'll probably get it checked again. Hope it's nothing serious.
Been there. Done that. Had lymphnodes removed from both area.
@@alexdixson1637 Hey, may i know the reason why you removed it? was it because it was cancerous? Also, how long did it take for you to fully recover after the surgery? Thanks :)

Hi i also have lump
Hey
I've found 2 swollen lymph nodes in my groin area, one I have had for around 3 months and isn't massively big, but another right at the top of my groin is now very slightly visible under the skin and very noticeable to the touch. there hard and don't move they don't really hurt either sometimes they ache because I keep prodding around... please someone tell me this isn't cancer 😔 what will my doctors even do?
I suggest you get checked by a doctor asap.
How are you now
Pls tell you fine
Am facing the same situation from 2months. Did yours got cured buddy ?
I too have right groin swollen lymph node why?????
I am kid male 11 about to be 12 i think i have it
I am 12 too and I think I have it too! ):
It'll be okay I'm 15 and through the same thing I'm hoping it's not seriously but statistically kids only have a 1% chance of having cancer :)
@@gatlinciminelli7651 what was the result of it
Id rather believe In God/Spirit ... to Heal Me... thank you
before modern medicine the life expectancy was less than 40 years. if you want to go by your beliefs by all means enjoy dying young
You can still believe, but doctors, testing and treatment are here to work hand in hand with God. ❤🙏
