Hi [@chloe_1992]‍ 

i literally could have written this myself!

I'm sorry to hear you are worried about your lump. What is yours like? How does it feel etc? 

I have had a large node for around 10 years now that has caused me so much worry and anxiety over the years, I have basically been worried about lymphoma non stop and it has taken over my life at points! More recently I thought I felt new nodes so I've had ultra sounds scans x 2, ENT appts x 2, numerous blood tests and each time everything has come back normal.

Since then I am really trying to think logically and stay off Google. 
 

it is reassuring your scan and bloods came back fine and you feel fine otherwise and you have your ENT appt to reassure you. Numerous Dr's have told me that sometimes our nodes can stay up after infections or even after having a baby.

I'm a mum to two little ones too and I think that can set our worry off even more. Congratulations on your little one btw.

please try not to worry, these things can be perfectly normal, I've seen so many posts where people have similar problems. I just think Dr Google always gives the worst outcome rather then the most likely cause.

hope this reassures you a little x

Hi 

thank you so much for your reply. I'd say it's the tonsil lymph node.  It's long in shape, feels hardish, and there's a part of it that moves away when pushed. I do often actually wonder if it's something underneath the node. But all doctors have said node ‍♀️ And I would hope that the ultrasound last year would of showed up anything behind it. 
 

I get fixated on lymphoma as well but I think its reassuring we have no other symptoms and I'd hope to think as we had the lumps so long it rules that out ?! 

agree doctor goggle is the worst ever! 
 

i think since Iv had a baby & been pregnant Iv got health anxiety. I have anxiety as it is and this little bubba has been very longed for and Iv finally got her and it feels like I'm now going to be taken away xx

Hi, 

that is good it moves, even if they feel

hard and immovable to us they might not to a Dr. I am pretty sure the ultrasound would have picked anything else up too.

that is what I try and tell myself now, the fact we've had these lumps that long and no other symptoms surely means it isn't anything sinister. I have good weeks then all of a sudden I'll feel an ache in my neck and it will set me off again. 
 

I know exactly how you feel, it petrifies me anything being wrong and worrying about my children but we have to feel reassured that tests have been done and results have come back ok, I give this advice so easily but need to take my own sometimes

take care and try not to worry or overthink things x
