ARGHHH! i hate google!
I posted a few weeks ago explaining that i was worried about a gland in my neck, which i have to have a biopsy on on the 10th sept. This was due to a blood test that came back showing a slight inflammation. Luckily though, i came down with a sore throat and tonsil thing a couple of days later which i'm hoping was the cause of the inflammation.
Still freaking out though as my initial thoughts were "OH MY GOD, it's lymphoma."
I was reassured by friends and family that if it was anything to be concerned about i would have gotten a biopsy a lot sooner and wouldnt have to wait a month so I've been relatively calm this past week.
However, my HA kicked off again tonight and I stupidly googled lymph nodes and something new came up..."Nasopharyngeal cancer."
Never heard of this one before so what do i do?!....I google the symptoms.
Swollen lymph glands on the side of the neck, where one is larger than the other - I have had this since i was 5 (i'm now 20)
Another symptom was a blocked nose! I have been having a blocked nose for a while now, which i put down to anxiety. I had sinus problems when I was young so this has never bothered me but now, having read this on google i'm freaking out and am convinced this biopsy is going to come back bad!
What makes it worse is that this cancer is one of the worst ones.
Why do we google?
We're just torturing ourselves :( xxx
