Scared and delays

Hi guys, bare with me new to this. So 6months ago a lump in my armpit and started itching, then two lumps appeared in my neck size of peas. Itching has increased and I've lost weight. Finally went to the GP who checked me over and then said they wanted to be straight with me and they wanted to refer me to hospital regarding lymphoma. Then he called me later that day saying first he wanted to do chest xray and blood tests again, my previous bloods showed no infection. So chest xray came back clear but not had second bloods yet. GP is ringing me tomorrow to discuss if lumps are still there I'm guessing. Really panicking and the lumps are still there and itching is becoming unbearable at night but with no rash and near to where lumps are.

  • Hello,

    So sorry to hear you are going through this it sounds awful! But I hope you don't mind me commenting on this as I just thought I could offer some reassurance or even if you wanted someone to just speak to about it all.

    I also recently found lumps in my neck although they are pretty big..  and some that feel like they are inside my throat. It's been about 3 months wait now I have a scan next Tuesday. 
     

    It really is so scary but the best thing to do is try and stay calm and do things that reduce stress levels for you. Like going for a walk or listening to music? Do some yoga. I find going on google or something makes it so much worse for me mentally.

    it could be absolutely nothing.. maybe some cysts or you could be allergic to something. 
     

    I really hope all goes well for you and keep trying to think positively! 
     

    take care x
