Hi everyone, this is my first post. I recently was sent to a surgical oncologist because I had what looked like a lymph node the size of a tennis ball in my groin. According to the ct scan that found it, my spleen and liver are enlarged as well. I have been bone deep tired for months and suffering from unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, and a severe all over itching that comes and goes with no explanation. The doctor immediately did a needle biopsy, but that was not conclusive and now I have to have surgery on the 11th to remove the whole lymph node. I am terrified of a cancer diagnosis. My mum had kidney cancer and my grandmother had leukemia. Does anyone have any advice or even similar stories to mine?
