hey all :) I have been reading a lot of your posts and wanted to wish you all well. I'm worried because my girlfriend had a random seizure around a year ago and around the same time she lost a lot of weight. She went from around 8 stone to 6 stone, she spent a few days throwing up consistently and couldn't eat no more than a few bites, she felt like something was pushing on her stomach preventing her from eating. After visiting the doctors for a blood test, she was sent for an MRI scan to check her brain and the blood test came back clear. The MRI results said that she 'fainted due to a head injury' and there wasn't any need to follow up. We left it until now, she has become extremely self-conscious about her weight, she has noticed a pea sized hard lump behind her ear (what she thinks could be a swollen lymph node), she has been having night sweats on and off. Her eating habits have been a lot better, she is managing to eat a lot more which is amazing, we thought she could possibly have lymphoma due to the weight loss and possible swollen lymph node and she has a blocked ear so she went to the doctors today for a blood test and to be weighed. They checked her heart, weight, blood pressure and her suspected swollen lymph node. The doctor said she thinks her mastoid bone is swollen, they prescribed her with ear drops and asked for her to get a chest x ray. She called to make an appointment when we got home and they said her doctor had asked for it to be done 'sooner rather than later' which concerned me. So now we are just waiting for her results. I'm so nervous but trying not to show it as I don't want to worry her. She's only 19 and her doctor did say it's very highly unlikely to be lung cancer but because she smokes she needs to check but because she got a same day X-ray I feel a little worried.
anyone else have a similar story?
