So recently I've been really worried and my anxiety has been really bad and I keep going on Google reading my symptoms so just below my neck I noticed it felt hard just below my ear and then also felt it hard at back of neck  that I only noticed of today I recently went to the clinic and they said that my groin was abit swollen due to a yeast infection but I'm concerned about my neck my family don't know what to do I'm waiting to get blood test results I'm going to my gp again initially when my doctor felt my neck she said everything was fine but I didn't feel happy enough so I'm going back again so they can have a feel but it's making me worry so much that I'm  starting to get panic attacks thinking it could be something so serious

    Hello Remisha123 and welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I am so sorry to hear you have been feeling so worried and your anxiety has been so bad. The first thing you need to stop doing if you can is googling symptoms as this will only exacerbate your anxiety and make you feel worse. You're doing the right thing in going back to the doctor's so that they can have a proper look at it. If you're not happy with your first visit to your GP, you could perhaps consider getting a second opinion. 

    Try not to worry too much and avoid anticipating what it might be. All you can do for now is wait to get a proper diagnosis and keep busy and distracted. Focus on other things if you can even though I can imagine this is really hard. It won't be long until you get a definite answer and I am keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be fine. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
