Ive seen this happen through a lot of threads on the Health Anxiety tab. People start to stress out about lymphoma because they notice a lymph nodes, and most will go to Dr.Google to find answers. I know because I'm going through the same thing right now (Thankfully this isn't as bad of a fear as my ALS fear last year.)
The lymph node i was worried about has not changed in over 2 weeks. But now I'm freaking out about my weight XD. I used to weigh 118 lbs but now i weigh between 114-116 and I've been told that this is normal for a girl my size. I have always been extremely thin and i haven't eaten regularly over the last month or so only eating when my stomach feels empty. Can anyone tell me what would be considered severe weight loss that could be associated with cancer and just fluctuating weight? I am pretty sure weight loss doesnt occur in most cancer patients until after they start treatment. But of course my HA is making me unsure :blush:
