Hi there, I've been debating whether to post on here or whether it will send my worrying further afield. But there's only so much I can vent to my family about my worries so thought I should get some further advice. I've had a lump in my groin for a bout 5 years now, it's quite firm and doesn't really move, sort of like a kidney bean and doesn't seem to have significantly grown in that time maybe a tiny bit but not drastically .. I had glandular a few years back and at the time doctors just put it down to that but here we are 5 years on and it's still there. I also get really bad hip, leg and shin pain in the same leg, but physio have put that down to a hip impingement although I'm having to have further inquiries into my shin/bone pain so I'm now wondering if it's all related. I had a hip X-ray a couple of years ago and I've had multiple pelvic and transvaginla ultra sounds for other issues and I've been trying to tell myself that if anything obvious was there it would have shown up in those scans but I don't know if glands in your groin would show on X-ray? I don't have any symptoms as such but I am quite prone to gettjng ill and when I had glandular fever it was severe enough to put me in hospital and I read that glandular can increase your risk for lymphoma. I've also noticed another small lump in my neck, completely painless but a bit more mobile than the one in my groin. I have an appointment Wednesday for a physical exam but I can't help thinking the worst and beating myself up for leaving it this long! But at the same time hoping that because it's been so long and nothing significant has changed it's a good sign? Ive recently had bloods and chest X-ray as I was very ill over the Christmas period but all came back normal, although I know bloods can sometimes be normal even if it is non Hodgkin's lymphoma  and sometimes they can grow so slowly they don't cause symptoms for years which I feel is my case. Made myself believe it cant be anything else at this point, help! I also have a big family history of rare cancers which has obviously put the worry in my mind more as it's so close to home
