Last Wednesday, I noticed there was a sort of hard mass on the left side of my neck, just under the ear. It's not actually a lump, it's just very hard and firm. I'm not even sure it's a lymph node but I tend to think it is. There is another, way smaller lymph node on that side of the neck which is not very hard, and I wouldn't say it's enlarged but it does feel very weird. Neither of them is painful. Of course, I googled the symptoms and it turns out it might be lymphoma. I wanted to make an appointment with my GP but she's on holiday so I will be seen by another doctor next week. I'm very scared it might be lymphoma. I don't have night sweats, no itching, lost some weight but I think it's all due to this anxiety and stress in general, and lately I haven't been very hungry. I also have very low fever (37.2 or so) in the evenings. The idea of having lymphoma is killing me. I'm prone to having cancer anxiety; just recently I thought I had tonsil cancer because my right tonsil was enlarged and there was a small white bump on it; the tonsil is now back to normal but the bump is still there which adds to my general anxiety levels.
I'm sure for the next seven days I will be having nightmares because and think that I have cancer. :unsure:
