Hey. I'm a 27y.o female and recently discovered swollen lymph nodes in my groin. They've been there about a month now, and I have just noticed another lump kind of above my pelvic area around my lower abdomen. I don't think I had/have any kind of indection that explains them.
I should also note that I recently lost my boyfriend in an accident in Canada, so am under a lot of stress and am feeling generally anxious and paranoid, tired and emotional at the moment. I went to see my GP who told me that yes, they are definitely swollen lymph nodes, and she would send me for an ultrasound if they don't go.
I am about to fly to Canada to be with my boyfriend's family there for an extended period of time (over a month for certain).
I'm so wracked with anxiety about not being able to get an ultrasound for a long time, as I know how important early diagnoses of cancers are. I've been consulting Dr. Google (I know I know), and have convinced myself that I have ovarian cancer or a multitude of other nasty things. If it was just a resoponse to infection, would they not have gone by now, and what about the new lump I've found?
I guess I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance. I know that cancer is rare in someone my age, but not unheard of. I don't want my time in Canada to be filled with anxiety when I should be healing with my boyfriend's family.
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads x
