Ugh!! You are right!!!!
Hi all,
So i wanted to update you...
My first full blood test came back as slightly raised white blood count and slightly lowered red blood count.
I had a repeat blood test 2 weeks later and all tests came back okay.
The ultrasound on the lump on my neck came back as a "reactive lymph node".
I saw my doctor last week and he thinks that it's nothing to worry about and to book an appointment if it grows a lot bigger.
At the moment it grows bigger than small every few days.
Since then at night time I've been getting very itchy arms and feet. I googled it and yup, you guessed it... It's a symptom of Lymphoma.
I'm now back to be being really worried again!
:(
Stop poking and prodding! Doing so will irritate and cause it to swell.

I'm definitely not poking my neck as much anymore but I can still feel the lump.
Interestingly my Doctor said the fact that my lymph node gets bigger and small is a good sign that it's just an infection, but I've also read that lymphoma can cause this too. I've also read that ultrasounds are terrible at diagnosing lymphoma which makes me more worried.
Not to mention now I've started itching all over at night, but especially my legs and feet... It's like the classic symptoms of lymphoma!
Just from what I've been googling Nancy
I've had one on both sides on the back of my neck for months now. Never payed attention to it, but it might worth mentioning to my doctor.
I have many more symptoms though, itching included.
I do totally agree, Nancy!
After I had the last appointment with my doctor I felt so relieved and like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. But since then I did the dreaded Google and since then I've read that blood tests and ultrasounds are supposedly bad to diagnose lymphoma. Lots of people on a Lymphoma forum have posted that their tests came back normal too.
Now I'm back to worrying again, but don't want to keep on bother my doctor....
