Hello everyone 

Firstly I would like to start off saying I have not been diagnosed with cancer nor would I like to cause any offence to those who have been diagnosed or has lost someone to it by talking about my issues/symptoms as it is truly a terrible terrible disease. 

Bascially this post is just pretty much me saying that I am currently lost and don’t quite know exactly where to go from my position. 

During the later stages of 2016 i found a lymph node in my neck that I was told was nothing and shouldn’t be concerned, a year later and the thing was still there, another appointment made and one blood count later I was told there was nothing wrong. 

I went to the doctor a week later to talk about my results and at the same time I was informed I had psoriasis on my scalp after the doctor performed a final check to check for more lymph nodes (she found an extra one or two in my neck and a few small ones nearer my groin. I was told during the same appointment this was “almost certain” to be the reason for the swelling. After a few google searches later of people with similar combinations of (Psoriasis=Lymph nodes swelling) I felt more at ease. 

Its been about a year and a half since that appointment and my health anxiety comes and goes thinking I need to check for more nodes and more problems with me and it’s quite frankly driving me insane. 

As of today (05/06/19) I managed to find another one if not two in the left side of my neck and that really put a dampener on my day. And because of such I am writing this post just wanting to express myself and talk about my problems as it’s just helping to talk about it. 

Ive Googled and used as many internet search engines as I can imagine wanting some reassurance about swollen lymph nodes but everything is just negative and doesn’t seem to make for good reading aside from a few forums such as this one and also (no more panic)

To be completely honest I just want to see if anyone has any similar experiences with a lot of nodes being palpabale for a white, or even if you have psoriasis too and have your nodes swell to that reasoning. 

I am sorry for this post as I just wanted to vent and talk about my experiences with health anxiety and my symptoms, any help or comments would be greatly appreciated as again, I just don’t know what to do. 

Thank you for reading
