Hi all, 

Little bit of backstory as to why I'm writing this post, a little over 2 years ago now I started having quite bad itching in and around both my armpits, however I didn't have any sign of any swollen lymph nodes in my neck or armpit and put this simply down to my work shirts being too tight and being overweight and my arms chafing causing irritation, well in August of last year I started to have night sweats which prompted me to go and have a blood test, by which time the night sweats had stopped, so I thought well if I don't hear anything from the doctors I can only assume that everything is fine and perhaps it was something of a viral nature that had caused the sweating. Jump forward to last week and I had a terrible week of fatigue and muscle aches and the night sweats had returned, now with my armpits being like they are on fire, yet still no swollen lymph nodes, I spoke to my GP and enquired about the blood tests that I have back in August and found that my liver function was elevated, obviously I asked Dr Google what might be going on and obviously Lymphoma was the top pick, since then, I can't eat, I can't sleep, the anxiety is driving me insane and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to carry on, I told my GP about this and she put me on Phenergan which is useless, if anything it makes me feel worse. 
 

I am an extremely anxious person by nature and I'm wondering why this is happening to me? I'm a 29 year old man laying in bed at 1:40am thinking about whether I'll still be here in 12 months time. I don't quite know where this is going, I just needed to get it off my chest. I'm just so frightened. 
 

Joe.
