So long story short I have been fearing lymphoma and been given the all clear by a specialist haematologist and then the ENT today.
I had blood tests done by the haematologist 6 weeks ago. They covered specific lymphoma markers, liver, kidneys, full blood count, iron levels and all the usual things. Also markers for auto immune diseases. At this appointment I also had an examination down by the doctor who said no abnormal swollen glands.
Had a follow up last week and was told bloods are 'perfect and indicate I am very healthy'. Exam same as last time, nothing to feel.
ENT today examined tonsils and neck said normal. Also said no swollen nodes. I asked about ones under chin and he felt again and said they are node lymph nodes, they are just saliva glands.
Great news! Except why am I still having symptoms?!
Neck pain and I am sure of I press really hard I can feel nodes on my neck
Feeling as if I am getting a virus every few weeks
Sweating at night
Groin node (doctors say caused by repeat abscesses)
Just generally feeling like crap
I know I need to accept there is nothing sinister but can't understand how I can feel so rubbish and there be nothing wrong.
