I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I take Fulvestrant shots and Kisqali. I found a swollen lymph node behind my left ear and will have a scan done on it this Friday. Im in the Hiram / Douglasville area of Georgia. Anyone else close by? Feeling scared and lonely.

Finding local support during cancer treatment can make such a meaningful difference, especially when facing new symptoms that bring uncertainty. The Georgia area has several breast cancer support groups and resources that might help connect with others who understand this journey. Reaching out here shows real strength, and many community members find comfort in sharing experiences and encouragement with others facing similar challenges. For more personal support and to connect with clinical care experts who can provide additional resources in your area, scroll down from the Home Screen of the app to find the Ask Outcomes4Me box. If feelings of loneliness become overwhelming, the 988 crisis hotline is also available 24/7 for additional support.

Hang in there, Anastasia. A swollen lymph node could be anything. I have stage 4 and I have a lymph node that gets swollen any time I'm even slightly under the weather. Let us know how your scan turns out. Scanxiety is REAL!

I’m so sorry you are going through this stress and loneliness. The good news is that your drs are on top it and you will find out what it is. But like Laura, I get swollen glands often from all kinds of things. So hopefully it is just a weird anomaly. Keep up posted. Sending lots of hugs.
