Hi,
I'm new here and I've been struggle with health anxiety for as long as I can remember. I am 18 now. I've been scared of everything, mostly cancers and I'm convinced that every symptom I have is cancer (Dr. google doesn't help). I was diagnosed with lupus about 8 months ago also. So about five months ago I had swollen tonsils and bumps in the back of my throat. I went to the doctor and he wasn't concerned and tested for strep with was negitive. I forgot about it and now I realized that the bumps are still there. I had a cold last week with a sore throat and a little cough which is now gone. Normally my throat feels fine. Anyway I'm absolutely convinced it's throat cancer. I've never smoked or done any drugs. I'm a healthy and incredibly clean person. My mom says it's nothing and could just be because of my autoimmune diseases. But I'm still incredibly stressed. I just really need some reassurance. Thank you!
