Hi all, new here! Long post alert. But thank you for anyone that takes the time to read!
I'll try keep this as short as I possibly can! I've tried to find answers reading through the forum, but all I seem to see is posts from people who have only suffered with swollen nodes for a few weeks/months. Mine started Feb 2018. One swollen tonsil, and about and inch sized node in my neck on opposite side. Got told by a GP was tonsillitis, although felt well in myself. Returned 2 months later after as no improvement. Had slight rash on base of neck. Referred to GP at hospital who said it was not Mono and that was pretty much all that was said. Went back to doctors in October, saw a different GP as no improvement, plus body aches tiredness, on and off chest pains and enlarged nodes under jaw. Got told tonsillitis and felt palmed off. When back last month I saw a different GP again (my actual GP) as I noticed a few new englarged nodes on collar bone (pea sized). He wasnt concerned until he asked me how long the largest one had been enlarged, when I mentioned a year he referred me to ENT and I have my first appointment 11th March. Has anyone else had similar? Or knows of what the next step is? As I have no idea what my first appointment will involve. I'm worried as I have a 14 month old boy. I'm only 25. And I'm worried if it is cancer, I would have already had it for a year. A year of waiting has put my anxiety through the roof! I'm supposed to be enjoying my son (this all started 3 months post partum). Im worried where there are so many swollen that if it is cancer it's spreading... Anyone have positive stories if lymphoma/cancer was unfortunately your diagnosis? I need positive vibes!!
