I was doing ok with the health anxiety for a while. I had an abnormal smear test come back and biopsy showed CIN2/3 so had to have Lletz/Leep treatment last week. Strangely enough I've dealt with this bit ok, still worried about the results as have to wait 3 more weeks to get biopsy results following the procedure, but nowhere near as bad as I nearly am about other stuff. Well that was until I developed Shingles this week! I'm only 32 y.o. so a bit worried as to why I would get this, and brought out the old health anxiety fears as apparently people get shingles when they have something wrong with immune system, cancers etc.
The lump in my groin which I've been conscious of for over a year now it's really aching at the moment. It doesn't seem bigger that it was but still firm, doesn't move. It's right on my underwear line, feels sort of like firm tendon, about size of kidney bean. I had it ultrasounded Dec 10 and they said no issues, and various doctors have not even been sure whether it's lymph node or something else. Went to doctor today and he doesn't know what it is but is referring me for another ultrasound.
I guess my question is, if it was cancer or lymphoma in the lymph node, wouldn't I have more symptoms by now since I've noticed the lump so long ago? I just hate the waiting for tests and results!
