Armpit lymphnode swollen 2 years

Hi all, 

 

im 27 and have had a swollen lymphnode for 2 plus years in my armpit, I have been to the doctors and seen a couple of doctors and a nurse who have all said it just feel like a swollen lymphnode and did not seem concerned, this made me feel better for a while. I go through stages of touching it and convincing myself it's got bigger even though I don't think it has. I recently had a blood test and blood count test as I have all the symptoms or an overactive thyroid and these all came back clear. I've now stupidly been googling I know the worst thing you can do and have seen a symptom of lymphoma is night sweats which I get regularly. I've now really scared myself and wondered if anyone else had the same? I do have dreams and nightmares every night and have wondered if the night sweats could be down to a anxiety. 
I feel bad going back to the doctors for the fourth time as I've been there 3 times already 

  • Hello! 

     

    I've been getting the same night sweats and also worried about lymphoma. I'll give you the same advice I've been telling myself. It could absolutely be nothing, but hot flushes/night sweats are not normal so might be worth going back to your GP and discussing with them, especially if you are still worried about your swollen lymph node. Keep pushing, even to just put your mind at rest.
