Lymphoma

Hi,

im a 23 year old girl and have had enlarged glands for at least 3 years in my groin, and recently noticed in my armpit too they don’t appear to have got any bigger in the 3 years however they are still always there and able to feel. I am very slim and about 7st 9 and 5ft8.

my blood tests came back normal, with no raised white or red blood cells however my platelets were slightly higher.

i feel absolutely sick with worry and am waiting on a doctors appointment.

thank you in advance 

  • Hello Chloeisobel

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health concerns at the moment. 

    It's good to hear that your initial blood tests haven't given any cause for concern and hopefully when you see your Dr they will be able to give you some further reassurance. 

    In the meantime, if you think it may help to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
