I've been really fixated on lymphoma recently. Been to my GP about nodes in my groin, they are firm but movable, well under 1cm. Had multiple blood tests done that indicated no problems.
I then realised I've had small lumps in my neck skin, IN not under. I know some of them.have been there for months. Not sure about others as I have never gone extensively digging before. They're hard and under a cm again and painless unless I squeeze them a lot (nothing ever comes out except a clear sticky fluid). They're mostly on my left side but can feel a couple on my right. There are also similar lumps just under the middle of my right cheekbone and the very edge of my left one. Because they're in my skin they only move when I move my skin. Don't move if I try and push them around.
I had my GP look at one I had (when I had forgotten about the rest) who said it wasn't a node and said "Acne can cause this". (I have had very mild acne for 6 years). I don't understand that though as nodular and cystic acne is painful and can be burst?
I have no other symptoms of Lymphoma, no night sweats or major weight loss. Stupidly I Googled "hard, fixed lumps in the neck." Everything is telling me that it's a sign of malignancy, my Dad pointed out the they are in the skin and not attached to underlying tissue as most state, but I don't know if this means the skin or the tissues underneath. He also pointed out the lumps are on my face. I don't know if it's possible to feel lymph nodes in the face.
I'm at my witts end, cry most of the day. Mostly out of fear. My relationships are all falling apart. Family, Friends, Girlfriend. All slowly getting fed up of me. I feel like nobody is taking me.seriously and the only thoughts in my head are about Lymphoma, staging, low grade and cure rates.
I don't know what I'm looking for posting this, I think I just needed to get it down. Thanks for taking the time to read it anyway. I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow at 10, just want it to be now so I can be told if all this worry has been necessary.
