Very worried

Hi  I noticed and seen a doctor 2 months ago about a cervical swollen lymph node in neck which he measured to be 2cm, it moves around and is rubbery. Waiting on a scan which he said could take weeks! I also on my drs notes has bloods taken for something else a month ago and he checked those and said my bloods are normal and cells are fine.

since the appointment I have developed ear pain/itching in both ears and a very itchy body and scalp. I do suffer with anxiety so not sure if the itching is that or what! I’m so scared that I will h e lymphoma! I’m only 29 with 2 babies under 3 my life is only now starting  ! What do you all think? 

  • Hello Leigh93

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting for a scan following a recently raised lymph node. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    It's impossible to say if the itching you are experiencing is related to this node, your anxiety, or indeed something else entirely. I'm presuming from your post that the itching is a new symptom since you last saw your GP. It would be sensible, for your own peace of mind, to get these symptoms checked particularly as it doesn't seem to be improving. 

    I hope you don't have to wait too long for your scan and that the results bring some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
