Sorry in advance for the  long story I just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience to the below please.

This happened all so suddenly. I had a sore throat a few weeks ago and also had bad night sweats at that point for about 4/5 weeks. The Dr said my throat wasn't too sore and took some bloods which were normal.

Exactly 2 weeks ago today I went for a run and 30 mins after I'd finished I had bad neck pain which got worse over the next two days and was inflamed. Went to urgent care and was told it wasn't too serious, probably caused by a neck spasm and to  take painkillers etc and continue as normal.

After a week the pain and swelling was only slightly better so I was prescribed Naproxen which I've been taking for 1 week. 4 days ago the swelling on my neck really increased and is really noticeable, it's like a big solid mass on one side of my neck and movement in one side is really restricted and I'm not sleeping at all with this and sweats.

I went to see the nurse 4 days ago and she arranged a 2ww referral and took some more bloods. The results came back as abnormal and I saw the Dr today who looked over my neck and body etc and said that my white blood cell count is very high in about 6/9 measures they do and I also have inflammation markers. She quite directly told me she thinks it's most likely blood cancer, but obviously further tests will establish this.

I know doctors wouldn't just tell me this if they didn't have good reason. Terrified. Can't believe that in the space of 11 days my bloods have changed so rapidly. I thought I'd sprained my neck and now to be told this.
