Swollen lymph node, weight loss

[leafie]

Please help me. For the last two days I felt extremely anxious. I have a lump behind my ear that's hard. I'm really really scared of cancer. Another symptom is weight loss. I usually weigh around 77.5 kg but now it's 76.3. I think it's because I wasn't eating very much yesterday but it just fuels my anxiety.

Can anyone tell me what night sweats are? Last night I had to change my shirt I think. I'm sooooo worried. Can't do anything because I'm always worrying.

I'm seeing my GP on Monday but I don't know what I'm going to do over the weekend.

To me it just sounds like an infection. Night sweats are pretty much waking up during hte night and being drenched in your sweat.

The weight loss seems to be just due to not eating well recently. It doens't sound like anything I'd be worried about but it's good that you're seeing your doctor on Monday as this will give you a larger peace of mind.

All the best :)

Do night sweats happen every night? I mean if you have real night sweats.
