I've been gone a while, but I'm back and I will never be so stupid as to believe that I could ever get better.
Basically, I've been obsessed with my neck for the last week and a bit, I'm constantly poking and prodding for lumps. And I'm not sure, but I think my glands are swollen. I asked a friend to look, and she said they felt tender. But I can't feel any pain, I don't have any difficulty swallowing, I'm not tired or losing my appetite but I do have a bit of a tacky feeling in my throat.
When I started freaking out, my friend told me that they felt a little tender, not angry and swollen. And that it was probably because I keep poking at them and it's hot as hell right now or I might be coming down with something. But it's too late, I'm certain I have leukemia, or lymphoma or whatever cancer comes from ever so slightly swollen glands.
I'm booking and appointment with my GP tomorrow, but I'm terrified they'll to a test and tell me it's cancer. I had a general blood count, thyroid function test and my iron levels checked about 10 months ago but nothing was wrong. Everything was perfectly fine. But I'm so scared right now. Are there other causes for slightly swollen glands? I'm obviously not going to google it!!!
