Lymphoma

Hey. So basically. 3 days ago I went to Leeds for a party right. The day after I wake up knackered right. Then I go the day without showering once. Then the next day im going home from leeds without showering and i went home to sleep. The morning after my skin is all itchy. And i discovered a lump in my right underarm. It doesn't look like there's any lumps there but i can feel it. Its abit painful to touch. Theres no lump in my left underarm. My skin is all itchy, i have this cold (not anymore im recovering) and i feel tired today although I had good sleep. I am scared to death I have cancer, and I don't know how to tell my mum and dad they won't take me serious cause I've never been diagnosed with anything like this before. I don't think I have cancer, but I think I might think I do because of the lump, itchiness. And 1 week ago I lost conciousnesss in a store while standing up for too long and I had to sit down for 10 minutes to gain my consciousness back. Right now I'm fine but I am scared to death I am gonna die. I am a 14 year old boy. Help me please. Help. Thank you

  • Welcome to the forum Lolskibroski155 although I'm sorry about the symptoms you've been experiencing. It sounds like a lot has been going on lately so it's completely understandable why you're feeling scared.

    I know it can be difficult to talk to our loved ones when we're worried but I'm sure your mum and dad will want to know what's wrong. Parents can be very perceptive so you may find they have noticed something already and they're waiting for you to tell them, so when you're ready do try and let them what you're concerned about and how you're feeilng as I'm sure they will want to do everything they can to help. 

    They can book an appointment with your GP for you if you want to speak with a medical professional about this but you can also do this yourself as you can visit your doctor at any age, about any issue to do with your physical or mental health.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their support and advice to you soon but in the meantime I hope you're able to get this resolved and start feeling better soon.

    All the best,
