I  Have type 2 diabeties and I'm worried now in case i have bone cancer. I've lost weight without trying.  I suffer serious sweats and im feeling unusual pain in parts of my body . Mostly  my knees. . My doctor found a lump in my groin lymph node.. although I don't feel a lump as such but maybe a little inflamed or enlarged. The knee pain is constant and gets worse when  golfing or standing all day whilst working..

Any information or advice would be appreciated. 

  • Hello Worriedgolfer,

    Thank you for posting. I see from your post that you are worried about symptoms you have. You did the right thing in going to see the doctor, so hopefully they'll be able to get to bottom of things and suggest something that can help. When you’re worried that you may have cancer, it can be natural to think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. If you're worried, the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor. 

    I hope this is helpful,
