Little worried about cervical cancer/lymph nodes

Hi! 
 

So, a few months ago a noticed my lymph node in my groin was enlarged. I thought I would just wait and see if it went back down before I panicked. Fast forward to these last few weeks and I had a period that lasted over 3 weeks. 
 

I made an appointment and the doctor confirmed it was a lymph node and said she will book me in for urgent bloods. So I have them next Thursday and I'm booked to get the results on Friday. They have said depending on the results depends what happens....

 

I guess all I'm asking is has this happened to anyone else, have you had irregular bleeding and a swollen lymph node and no other symptoms and turned out to be worst case scenario? I have since noticed a new lymph node in my neck and have also had bleeding after intercourse which is not the norm for me! 
 

sorry this has dragged out a bit, thanks in advance if you take the time to reply

  • Hi! Thanks for you reply  

    Do you happen to know if bloods would show anything in particular? I've read lots of posts that have said people have needed scans, biopsy's etc to really get a 100% answer? 
     

    My doctors are usually pretty good but I am worried that if my bloods are ok then there will be no real urgency in terms of scans etc. 
     

    Thanks x
