Xmas day and I’m worried sick and googling

So I never thought I'd ever be sitting here on Xmas morning with a 5 year old, worrying and googling non stop about my enlarged lymph nodes in groin. I'm making myself I'll. so last year I started experiencing an ache in my right groin, I was sent to a hernia doctor and they told me I didn't have a hernia. Fast forward to March this year and I found a lump in the right side of my groin. With lockdown I hestitated goin the docs but eventually I went. Whilst waiting for the ultrasound I felt another lump pop up next to it. Anyways had the ultrasound and the first one I found was enlarged at 14mm (they said if it was 15mm or more then they start worrying). The other lump was very small they said. The results report to my GP said they were reactive nodes (possibly in response to shaving). However my gran had lymphoma in her groin and so to be sure they referred me to haematology. They called me and said they were happy not to see me but to keep an eye on them. So last few weeks the second lump I found has gotten bigger. I went back to haematology and they are sending me for another ultrasound to see if they have actually gone bigger. I have constant pressure and aching in that lump area and the lumps are hard (which according to google mean they are more likely to be malignent). As to other symptoms, I've had loose stools for a year too which I've had colonoscopies for. I get occasional nigjt sweats but not drenching. The main thing is these two lymph nodes and the constant ache in my groin. I feel like I know something is wrong and google is making me worse. Has anyone had enlarged lymph nodes and they have been found to be ok?

  • Worry and anxiety ruining my life. This time I think I have breast cancer. My son was seriously  injured in a car crash in October. Since getting home in November I have been convinced I have breast cancer. I have a warm sensation in one breast and it’s tender and sore. One breast bigger than other - the sore one- but may have been like that before. Problems sleeping and feel permanently worried and anxious. Ruining everything! Help! 

  • It's horrible isn't it! Every symptom I get I'm like this is bad and I start googling and I know it's stupid googling but it's the only time I can find answers but unfortunately they aren't the answers I want to hear.
