Lymphoma - lumps in neck :(

[2015cj]

Been worrying about lymphoma for months now!! Started when I hurt neck felt a lump in area that was injured went to doctor who said a cyst. Still worried I went back to another doctor who also said cyst and they both said they are not lymph nodes but I'm convinced they are! Now there's a smaller on right beside the other I'm totally freaking out now as not sure if it's always been there 😓. Both lumps are very small and mobile. I also have dry skin on knees and elbows that itch. Can't live life for worrying.

Im having the same worried as you lately but with many many more symptoms, if you genuinely are worried can you not ask for an ultrasound? They can usually identify a cyst from this I believe?

Lymphoma lumps are generally very hard and immobile. They are also big enough to be noticed.

If you have 2 Drs telling you they aren't lymph nodes, you MUST trust someone with 6+ years of medical training.

The distrust is HA playing it's trick.

If it were lymphoma you'd also be having plenty of other symptoms as well - and the lumps wouldn't stay the same, small size.

Please try to trust your Dr and live a happy life :)
