Mass found on CT scan, going for an endoscopy and scared

Hello @klsmidwestmom,
You certainly are dealing with a lot of health issues, both for yourself as well as your daughters. You certainly deserve lots of good thoughts and prayers.
It is good that you are looking for answers to the myriad of problems you are experiencing.
Have you consulted an endocrinologist? Endocrinologists are doctors who are fine-tuned to all of the body systems and are good at looking at the whole picture. Your statement,
"It’s very odd that the night sweats and chills before were only the one week when I was suppose to be on my period," might possibly suggest a hormone-related problem.
An endocrinologist might be the type of doctor who could be of assistance right now.
You mention that your 17-year-old daughter will be having surgery. While I understand that you don't want to reveal the nature of her surgery, is it something hormone-related?
It is important that you provide the doctors with your complete family history, including your children.

No, I guess I thought that an endocrinologist was a diabetes doctor, but I must be wrong. Thank you for the suggestion, I never would have thought that it could be hormone related in some way, I will suggest that after I find out what my biopsy says. Do you know if it’s risky or if there is any effects to having biopsied of the lump nodes (I think they are in my chest)
