Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some reassurance and comfort if at all possible. I am completely terrified at the moment, I have health anxiety but for the last few months it has been fairly mild. However, last week I felt under my armpit in the shower and noticed a lump-like a pea, what I assume to be a swollen lymph node. I freaked out about it but it seems to have shrunk now a fair bit. However, I also have stomach pain and nausea along with it. I feel as though there are lumps in my stomach where the pain is-sort of below my belly button on the left and right. So I'm freaking out thinking is it some sort of cancer or am I just feeling lumps from organs or something that's supposed to be there?
Sorry for the long post but if anyone can help or has had something similar I would be grateful to hear from you. I've worked myself up desperately trying to link the symptoms I've just described and to no joy. I can't see the doctor off another week so I don't know where else to turn :(
