Things are only getting worse

[Kendrag2018]

A couple of years ago I felt a sharp pain in my neck right below my ear. Turns out it was a swollen lymph node and it was very tender and hard. Two years later and the swelling never went down on it and there is one the same size on the same side of my neck. They are about the size of a marble and don’t move around when I touch them. They have not grown any larger over these past two years. I went to the doctor yesterday for them and the doctor ordered blood work and an ultrasound. She said she just wants to be thorough. Now I’m scared and I feel so hopeless. I don’t have any other symptoms and I’ve felt completely fine but I’m terrified of the results. I just want to cry all the time and just sleep. Has anyone gone through something similar?

Go for the bloodwork and the ultrasound. If you have these tests then your doctor can eliminate some things and know what to do to cure it. It is good your doctor wants to be thorough Let her do her job and try not to worry about it too much. Please let us know how the results pan out.
