Hi everyone,
I posted not so long ago on the forum as I had a swollen gland in my neck and was worrying about lymphoma. I went to the GP and she said it was nothing to worry about. For a couple of weeks I didn't worry and it was great!
However, the last couple of days I've had the weird lump in the throat feeling (not globus - this is only on one side), and the gland is still swollen after about two months! Also, I have stomach problems and bladder problems, and am now worrying again that it's lymphoma. The lymph nodes in my body are swollen and causing the other problems by pressing on various organs.
What should I do?! Should I go back to the GP and ask outright if it could be lymphoma? I'm sure the gland should have gone down by now...I mean, I don't even remember having an infection to make it swell in the first place!
This is horrible. I was doing so well, getting my life back on track, and now I'm feeling myself slip back into despair and it's horrid :weep: If only the symptoms and lumps would just go away I'd be alright...
I'd welcome any advice.
Thanks everyone.
