Hello All

I just wanted to post more for reassurance then anything else. For around six weeks now I've had a raised noticeable large lymph node behind my right ear, sitting on and behind the mastoid bone. 
 

I have been absolutely racked with fear, to the point that I have not stopped obsessing over it, particularly touching it perhaps 100 times per day and convincing myself I have cancer and that I would die (I know that cancer doesn't mean death but I was being irrational). I suffer with extreme health anxiety and I have been crippled by this.

Positively, this week I've had blood tests and an ultrasound both of which have come back with excellent results, the doctor described my bloods as "perfect" and my radiologist scanning my lymph node said they are "perfectly healthy nodes".  
 

The reason for this post is so others can read it and hopefully not instantly jump to the worst conclusion, I haven't had an infection, I haven't been poorly. YeT my nodes have still reacted to something but are in fact absolutely fine. I promised myself once I had my results I'd update this to give others some perspective.

All I will say is that if you're anxious and worrying then please do go get checked, it's better to be safe then sorry.
