Hi all,

New here! I will try to keep this short and sweet- just looking for some comforting words today as my health anxiety has gone off the charts.

I noticed a swollen gland in my neck about a year and a half ago, mentioned it while at the doctors for something else and doctor instantly could feel it and referred me to ENT and did blood tests which came back normal. That was 6 months ago and i am still waiting for my ENT appointment. 

Since then I have found comfort in the fact nothings changed with it, untill 3 weeks ago when another gland came up, then another, then another. All on one side of my neck. Now im thinking back at all the weird symptoms I've had over the last 6 months (blocked nose on one side, jaw pain, ringing in ears, toothache, itchy skin, nose bleeds, tiredness) and ive convinced myself i have sinus cancer. I know that's irrational.

I called the doctor to explain i have further symptoms and to see if my appointment can be brought forward but i got brushed off and told to ring the hospital. They've said im about 4 to 8 weeks further away from being seen.

Ive tried to stay away from dr.google but failed. Any one out there in a similar situation?

Thanks for reading and sorry its long
