Hello Dante73 and welcome to the forum.

It can be difficult to deal with our health symptoms when we have a history of cancer running in the family so it's only understandable that even after your doctor confirmed you had an infection you might be worried. Often times though, these symptoms don't mean anything sinister. Having said that, if you continue to experience discomfort in the next few weeks you may want to phone your GP again and see if you need further evaluation.

Alternatively, if you think it might help ease your mind to speak to someone else with a medical background, our nurses can be reached on this number 0808 800 4040 Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

Wishing you all the best,

Discomfort, had many atime, cannot swallow, I have chew my food good. Plus heartburn, during the day at times, night time. Lymph nodes in right and left armpit up, pea size and then disappears, comes back bigger. Blood in stools. And pain in right side, going to my left side. I cannot sleep on left too much. Causes heartburn, acid reflux. Headaches, and turns into migraine. Told the doctor. Not bothered at all. I had lymphoma when I was a child. So basically, they more concerned about this Pandemic with 99.7% survival rate. Yep, one other thing no flu symptoms, have not had flu for 5 years.
