Do I have hodgkins lymphoma... or throat cancer?

I've had weird neck sensation for 6 ish months I'm 17. I get thick white long strands of saliva in my mouth especially in the morning and feel like there's mucus in my throat but nothing comes out. I've also gotten a swollen Lymp node on my right middle neck. Fatigue, headaches and earache(sometimes)... I've got a GP appointment again in a while... I just reallly hope it's nothing. (I also have had a lot of hair fallout but I think I'm just being paranoid). :|

  • Hi Leiko,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Sorry to hear about your worries. Unfortunately I can't advise on the issues you're experiencing, and the best thing is always to speak to your doctor. Glad to hear you have an appointment soon. Make sure you write down all your concerns/questions so that you're ready to ask them when you have the appointment and so you don't forget anything.

    Hopefully speaking to your doctor will give you some clear guidance to move forward with. Try not to worry too much in the meantime - although I know this is easier said than done sometimes.

    Wishing you all the best.
