Swollen leg and lymph node, concerned.

Hiii! For the past few days my leg has gotten slightly swollen, it started with a small lump in my thigh and progressed into pain and I just now noticed my lymph node in my neck is swollen. It's hard to put weight on the leg.

I've always had anxiety, but I just have a deep feeling that something isn't right and my mind keeps going to the worse. I'm calling the doctor today to see what they say. I don't want to look like a fool if it's nothing.

how do you get over the doubt? And is a gut feeling true?

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. I noticed you have also posted elsewhere on the forum, and you mentioned you have a doctor's appointment today.

    It will be your doctor who is the best person to advise on your symptoms, so do make the most of your appointment and aim to get the answers and reassurance you need.

    I know it's easier said than done, but try not to assume anything. Hopefully your appointment will help in giving you some peace of mind.

    Wishing you all the best,
