Swollen lymph node and recurrent infections

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.

  • Hi autumwinter, im steph, i have lung cancer, just completed 30days radio and 8seshs of chemo. But hey listen dont just accept there answers. Research all they tell you. Even record the docs appt. And youll be able to go back to it. Plus it covers your own ***.  Means they cant say they never said it..   question everything, accept nothing. As 100% and dont be afraid to open your mouth hun its ur life. Its not just getting your car repaired. Ask for answers as its getting you depressed which is detrimental to your health.  Listen we all know our own bodies. Dont we. Its just tryimg to get what you want to say to them without sounding like some crazy person lol.  So be calm, have a lust of questions after doing your research. Dont forget to charge your fone or dictafone. You wont regret recording the convo i promise it gives you sumfin to go back to n say nahh mate your tawkin one load of ***.  Ir to let any other g.p. or doc. To hear exactly what was said. Lol n realise there aint no flies on you and they will treat you with more respect knowing you aint just going to just accept ther ***. So they will have to give you the correct information.  And dont forget to intro. Them as you meet them or let the intro themsels but make sure fonecorder is on rec. And youll feel a little more empowered.  But can i just say. Try be positive. And dont think so much about things.  Or get stressed out n that. sorry if i talk to much hun. Hope a wee guy from glasgow has helped a little in a way if you wanna reply to me. Feel free. Im stephen but call me steph. Hope alls well for you hun. Xx autumnwinter my fave seasons lol thanks x
