Hi,
I am a 31 yo male who had lymphoma back in 2002. Since then, I've been hypervigilant about checking for nodules, etc, but to that point, am extremely nervous and anxious all the time about my health.
In the last week, I've had an itch all over my body, and it seems to come and go. The more I think about it, the worse it gets. Of course, I searched for it, and the first thing that comes up is lymphoma. I am incredibly worried. I let my doctor know and she attributed it to my anxiety, being overly aware of my own body sensations.
I do have OCD and anxiety, especially when it comes to health. Anyone else faced the "itch" before? How did you work with it? I have no breakouts really... Thanks for your help!
