Hey guys,
I am completely freaked out. 2 years ago I started having neurological symptoms etc. I had my head scanned 3 times, my spine and also a lumbar puncture. I have also my chest scanned once a year because of my heart condition. They didn't found anything. The blood test suggested a possible Lyme disease infection for which I was treated. I still have some symptoms, however, recently I got dead worried. I've been having for years some issues with my bowel. Tummy pain, loose stools etc. Dismissed with IBS.
a month ago I got a lump on the external part of my bottom. I thought it was a pile, but it didn't want to go away by using any kind of treatment - steroid creams etc. It finally worked when they gave me an antibiotic which was unusual. Despite the lump Is gone now - I've found on the same side in my groin 2 very small lumps, that are painless, hard and rooted. I saw a doctor he asked me about my Bowel. Said before diagnosing me with IBS we will run some tests. A FIT test, for inflammation, bloods etc. He touched my groin and said that it looks to him like a small normal enlarged lymph node. Not sure where he took "normal" from, because I had not had it before and it's def not normal! He said give one more week and if it won't go away maybe we will do a scan. It's not going away, plus I found another one close to the one that I already had. My tummy and groin hurts all the time as much as my lower back - and I don't know if the pain is caused by anxiety or something else, but I am very scared that I have either lymphoma or bowel cancer that has spread to my lymph nodes. I have blood done this Friday and tomorrow my Gp will call me so I'll ask to get the ultrasound done. I am scared as never before because something is off. I am afraid that they missed something 2 years ago and now it is advanced
