Raised ESR levels

Hi everyone,

After 5 months of pain with BMs, 2 months of swollen lymph nodes in back of neck and 1 month of swellings in groin I was finally given a blood test. This apparently came back satisfactory but my ESR levels were slightly raised. Just wondering if anyone diagnosed with cancer has raised ESR levels because I'm convinced this isn't just some infection causing this? Lymph nodes are not supposed to stay up for months and I'm worried it is linked to the pain I have when going for bowel movements.

any advice appreciated
