Please reassure me :(

I’ve just recently found a small hard lump on the back of the right hand side of my neck. It’s made my lymph nodes swell and it’s making my shoulders ache and my head feel heavy. I’m only 18 (not long turned) and bad symptoms to hard lumps has ran in my family for years. I’m so worried. I’ve got the docs tomorrow and I’m really hoping it’s nothing serious. Just need some reassurance please

TIA

  • Hi Abby - sorry you're worried but I do think you're getting way ahead of yourself thinking the worst. I would think that your shoulders are aching because you're tense & holding yourself stiffly & that's making your head feel heavy. Honestly sweetie I really don't think you need to worry. You did the right thing seeing your GP just to check it out but I'm sure s/he will be able to put your mind at rest.

    If I thought it was something to worry about I would say so - so get yourself off to bed with your music or a book or whatever it is you normally do before you go to sleep & be bright & breezy in the morning & get the good news! :)
