I have recently been diagnoised with anemia, my general doc seems to be pushing for a surgeon to look at me, I believe other tests could be done prior to a surgery consult. Also recently had a lymph gland swell horribly in the left side of my neck and he seems to have no concern for that.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have anemia.  You should go for anemia profile test first.  Then you should take treatment according to cause of anemia. Lymph node swelling may be due tor reactive lymph node hyperplasia.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
