hi 

i'm a 20 year old whose got multiple swollen nodes around my groin area. they're really big in size and i've been putting off getting them checked out because of the pandemic. but i finally rang my doctor yesterday and he also said i should get my bloods checked and then possibly an ultrasound after that. 

i'm have severe anxiety so i can't help but think of the worst case scenario

i wonder if anyone else has had the same experience, if yes would they be able to give me any advice on what to expect coming forward 

thankyou 

  • Hello Simi and welcome to the forum.

    I know it's a scary time for everyone at the moment, but well done for biting the bullet and booking in with your GP to get the nodes checked. It's good to see your doctor is being thorough and hopefully it won't be long before you get some answers.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in similar situations will share their experiences with you soon but in the meantime, we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    All the best,
