Hi everyone. 4 years ago this month I noticed a small hard lump in my neck, I was instantly very anxious and started poking and prodding for hours and found a few more. I then found some moveable lumps in my armpits. I was incredibly anxious about these but was too afraid to see a GP incase I was told I had lymphoma. I eventually stopped worrying for a few years, then late last year I saw a tv show where someone was diagnosed with it and my anxiety about the lumps started again. Recently I've been getting chills and itchiness and now I can't stop thinking I have Lymphoma. I'm too afraid to go to the doctor but I'm never going to stop obsessing over this unless I know for certain that I either have it or don't have it. The worst part is, Lymphoma and Anxiety have a lot of the same symptoms, so even if I do go to a doctor, I'm afraid they won't take me seriously due to my age (I'm 19 by the way) Anyone else gone through this? Any advice?
