Hi, I'm hoping someone has been through the same as I have. I am a 21 year old girl. Last may I had swollen lymph nodes in my neck for the first time, I was sick for weeks with feaver and chills but no cause. I was in hospital as well because I was so ill. I have had this recurrent illness with swollen lymph nodes at least 6/7 times since then. It had been almost every 6-8 weeks since.
I noticed in August I had a painless lump on one side that doesn't dissapear. I've had bloods done and nothing comes up. Glandular fever negative. I am really worried this is lymphoma of some sort.
I went to the doctor again last week and he doesn't seem worried because I'm young and bloods are fine. He thinks it could be stress.The lump is sore today and has swollen/grown slightly overnight. I've never had the swelling on just the one side.
should I just listen to the doctor or should I push to get it scanned. My mum had ovarian cancer in her 20's and her bloods came back fine.
