Hi all

First time posting but I've been reading posts ever since I first started 'worrying'. I first noticed a swollen lymph node in my neck that didn't go down for about 2 months. I also began to feel tired a lot. Needing an afternoon nap is now the norm - or if I'm working a long shift then coming home and going straight to bed. I describe it as having a limited box of energy each day and having to carefully plan how to use it.

The next thing I noticed was tat the every day bruises I get to the tops of my thighs from bumping into corners of tables etc were much bigger and darker. I also had a UTI a few months ago and so I bought some urinalysis sticks at the time, and I've noticed that everytime I do a random urine dip test it shows I have microscopic blood and leukocytes.

I've spoken to the GP by telephone consult last week and she has ordered bloods and urine tests on me and I get the results tomorrow. 

While waiting for the results I've also had 2 heavy, spontaneous nose bleeds and where the blood was taken I've developed a really large bruise. (haven't had a nose bleed for as long as I can recall).

Obvs Dr. Google suggests that all these symptoms taken together are some form of cancer. I've narrowed it down to lymphoma or leukemia.of course I don't really believe it's a cancer but it does all sound sus when it's laid down like that. 

I just keep thinking - how would I tell my husband, my kids, my parents? 

On the plus side... I spent today organising the house / doing all the laundry / tidying the wardrobes etc (so they can all manage without me for a bit if I need to start treatment urgently) 

Does anyone want to stick their hand up and reassure me that I'm over reacting?
