Hi everyone,
I am currently having a lymphoma panic. The one behind my left ear is a bit swollen and I can feel quite a lot of pressure in that area, including my ear and left side of my neck. I have no cold or sore throat or anything, feel generally well. I also have a moveable lump about the size of a 5 pence piece towards the front of my throat which the doctor thought was muscle spasm. I thought I found a lymph node in my left armpit too a few days ago but had a quick feel this morning but couldn't feel anything. (Although it was a very brief feel as I was so scared of feeling something!) I keep getting twinges in both armpits, but could this be from shaving my armpits?
Why can't I just find reassurance in what the doctors say?
Also, had a full blood count which came back normal except for raised iron and liver function which the doctor put down to being on iron tablets for over a year until a few weeks ago. But anyway would lymphoma come up on this test??
Any thoughts?
