For the past ten days, I've had a scratchy throat, post nasal drip, and a minor cough along with a general feeling of exhaustion and achiness. It seems to come and go a bit. I am so freaked out it's lymphoma; three months ago I got a CT scan for something else and they noted my spleen was on the cusp of being mildly enlarged. I went to a specialist who checked me thoroughly said it was a normal variation and I was fine, but I am so scared they missed something and this feeling of unwellness is actually cancer.
My daughter has a terrible cough, so I know that there's a virus going around, but why would the unwellness feeling last so long?
