Lymphoma worry

I discovered a lump in my neck in September and recently had an ultrasound scan and biopsies. I’m anxiously awaiting the results and was wondering if anyone has any coping mechanisms they can recommend?  I’ve had a call from my GP to say that there were two enlarged lymph nodes that are suspicious and I should get results and an urgent appointment within 2 weeks. I’m only 6 days in to the wait and am afraid I may go mad - I feel panic and hysteria rise up in my throat when I go out and can’t wait to be back at home where I feel safer. Can anyone relate to this and if so, how can I get through the wait without completely melting down? Thanks in advance for any tips <3

  • My diagnosis was cancer of unknown primary - I had squamous carcenoma cells in my lymph nodes that were secondary, but there was no obvious primary tumour.  I had part of the base of my tongue removed for testing as that was the only possible place that it could be apparently.  Try not to worry too much as yours sounds completely different but I can assure you that once you know what you’re dealing with it will get easier.  The waiting is most definitely the hardest part so try and keep yourself busy, and occupy your mind by doing nice things.  Good luck - keep me posted xx
