Hello everyone. I have been reading this forum for the last few days and I tought I would share my story since I really need to let it out.
It started last december when I wondered what this lump on the right side of my neck which I had for years was. So I unfortunately decided to Google it. The results showed a lot of scary stuff especially Lymphoma. After seeing this, I felt sick to my stomach, I couldn't sleep well and I couldn't eat for a few days. A few days later, I decided to go to my local walk-in clinic to get it checked out. Turns out it was only a sebaceous cyst which is common for people with acne. I started feeling better until a few days ago when I felt two lumps on the lower left side of my neck. They don't feel the same as the first one so I got really scared again and went to the clinic 2 days after. The doctor said that they are most likely reactive nodes and they should go down in a few weeks. The only problem is that I did not have the flu or cold in the last two years or so. The lumps feel semi-hard and very moveable. After I went to see this last doctor, I felt a bit better until today where I found an unexplained bruise on my thigh. Once again, my anxiety went sky high since I don't remember hitting anything. Now I am extremely scared that I have either Leukemia or Lymphoma. I can barely eat because the anxiety is so high and it is litteraly the only thing I can think of.
If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading my story. I would really appreciate any similar story that you guys have.
