worried about cancer!!

Hi

Im very new to this site and quite new to anxiety I have been suffering for around 6 or 7 months now and need to hear and talk to people that have been through what I am.

Back in june I found a lump in my testicle and had a few doses of antibiotics due to epididymitis I had an ultrasound done in which everything was clear apart from a cyst and 2 hydrocells.

For a while I was happy and content there was nothing going on and then just before Christmas I cut my foot and thought I had tetanus I got over this shortly.

I was prescribed anti anxiety / anti depressants whixh I decided not to take.

Now I noticed a hard lump in my groin which im terrified about I went to tthe doctor who told me it's probably just a lymph node however im terrified that its some kind of cancer in particular testicular that has spread to my lymph nodes I'm really scared!

There is no way your doctor would say it's okay if it's not. My son has a lymph node behind his ear that worries me but it's nothing. Doctors know a bad node just by feeling it. Maybe you should try the meds they help me when I'm really bad.

Yeah I know what you mean I did try to take the first one but i completely freaked out and had a panic attack

My doctor has ordered a ultrasound to be done on the lump. I said at the time that I was worried about cancer etc which she smiled and shook her head I assume this is a good sign just really hard to tell myself that

hey buddy,dont worry!!! i had epididmytis just last year and holy crap did it hurt, i understand. now for the lump i gurantee its a lymhnode...small rubbery and mobile. probly is there due to the infection you just had. i have 6 groin lymphnodes ive had for years seriously dont worry ive been there its very scary but groin lymphnodes are common nothing to worry about.

Hey guys

Just an update I have received my scan date through the post and it shows they are going yo ultrasound my groin and testes I had a testes ultrasound before is this standard? Just don't understand because my doctor didnt mention my testes however I did mention I was still worrying about testicular cancer any ideas ?

Also the lump in my groin has been reducing in size over the past few days since ive stopped proding etc

Thanks
