So for the last 5 or so week I have had a large swollen lymph node in the right of my next just under my jaw. I went to the doctors 2 weeks ago who gave me antibiotics and told me to come back in 2 weeks if it was still there.
So fast forward to today, i returned to the doctors (seen a locum as mines wasn't available), he checked my neck and said I actually had a few nodes swollen, asked me if I had lumps anywhere or any worrying symptoms. Told him nothing jumps out, he felt my stomach and said everything felt fine but he would order blood tests which are yo carried out on Wednesday.
Not I have the total fear something is wrong and it's the dreaded cancer! I'm 28 years old and female but cannot get past it, I've spent the last 2 weeks worrying and now I'm even more worried.
The doctor did say he thought my bloods would come back normal and thinks it's down to an infection thats taking a while to get out my system but I can't shake the fear.
Does anyone have any advice or been in a similar situation?
