I'm 34 and weigh 14st. My stomach is very very swollen, in fact I look like I'm nine months pregnant and my stomach is hard to the touch. My stomach is bigger now than it was when I was carrying my daughter full term.

I'm often breathless from walking up the stairs and I'm really worried. I also have a swollen lymph node in my armpit which the doc found a couple of weeks ago and told me to 'keep an eye on'. I'm going back to the doctors on Friday but I've been googling my symptoms and it's all coming up with cancer and other scary things.

I'm really frightened now. I don't have any pain or anything, just the horrible swelling and breathlessness.
