Hello,,
I have wrote to this forum like 3 weeks ago and now I really think that I am developing a hypochondria... I had my concerns about swollen lymph nodes and lumps on my head. I went to my doctor and she is an amazing specialist, she noticed that I might be nervous and knew inside of her that I have googled something for me. I said my concerns about cancer and she said to trust a person who learnt 10 years of stuff and not internet. She checked my neck area and run some blood test also lungs x-ray. When I visited doctor my anxiety went so high, that my body temperature got high and she checked I had 38 fever. I was shocked because I came feeling fine and then got more nervous so my heart rate went to 130. My heart rate is still pretty high due to stress, overthinking and developing anxiety. I understood I can't let my nerves do this to me. My blood came good (she concluded some deeper tests who are very sensitive to oncology) just to calm me and I'm waiting for ultrasound on inner organs and neck. But one particular lump still annoys me which is higher than usual lymph nodes are and is hard, painful to touch. It's pretty small tho, and when I went to doc I didn't mention it too briefly so she didn't really check. I still don't trust all my tests and am anxious although I feel good, no weird headaches or other unusual stuff happens. Also she said my lymph nodes aren't abnormal or cancerous for sure, they just sensible everywhere, might be many allergies I have. But I still can't stop thinking about different kinds of cancers and literally can't sleep some nights or cry randomly... How do you cope with these crazy thoughts???
