Lymph node question

[Fishmanpa]

Having had cancerous nodes that were over 5cm when removed, the previous info is correct. There's no mistaking it. Knowing logic, facts and reassurance doesn't work the majority of the time with HA, I suggest you keep the appointment. The "Told Ya so Gang" is on standby

Thanks Fishmanpa, I was hoping you would reply!
I love facts, they’re the only thing that help me!

Ok. I’ve cancelled the doctor appointment and emailed them for advice instead. If they tell me it needs checked, the. I’ll go. If not, happy days!

[Limeslime]

Ok, so this is the response I got. Damn.

it would certainly be sensible to book an appointment for review if this node has persisted though nodes can sometimes do this and it is less concerning if it is not changing, increasing in size etc. Ideally book with the same GP who originally saw you as they may recall the original problem "

You emailed your doctor? They had been talking about introducing that, but AFAIK it hadn't been introduced yet. Certainly not in my health trust.

No GP was going to give it the "OK" over email, and I think you knew that deep down

[Limeslime]

Yeah, my GP practice introduced it in the past year, but it’s the first time I’ve used it.
It’s part of their online booking facility. It gives the option to either book an appointment or “consult online”. It’s a good idea!
I really hoped they’d say “5mm lymph node! Yeah, come back if it gets to 1cm” or something....

Limeslime - no doctor is going to reassure about a lump, mole or similar over the internet or email

I know you said you feel embarrassed for making another GP appointment but I doubt this worry is going to disappear without you taking some action. Does your GP know about your HA?

Even if this node "disappears", your HA is likely to find some other lump or bump elsewhere

Exactly ^

That's why I said go. IMO, it'll be nothing of concern based on your post history but as I said, the dragon won't let you rest otherwise.
