To take my 22year old dd to gp?

My dd found a lump in her groin 18 months ago. She went to doctors and they said it was a swollen lymph node probably caused by infection.

She still has it 18 months later and it's got bigger.

She is always ill. Always got a cold or ulcers in her throat or throat infection. She loses weight despite eating really well. (More than me !)
She is always tired . Looks washed out . She is also anaemic . (Confirmed)
She's been back to the doctors twice - she is very sensible and grounded and has told me she's worried about lymphoma. The doctors dismissed her saying "google doesn't have a degree "
She is worried. I am now worried she has been referred for a scan but will take 4-6 weeks and then she has to await results before getting referred for biopsy.

I want to go to gp now with her and ask about a private referral and timescales. They aren't taking her seriously.

Aibu? I don't usually interfere but this seems like one time I need to. She needs someone a bit bolshy to fight her corner .

I can see it from her perspective too.

Everyone is different and wants different support approaches when they’re stressed and worried.

It sounds like your daughter appreciates the more laid back support that she receives from her dad. Whereas I’m assuming you have had multiple conversations with her about this over the past week, which in turn may come across as bombarding her and doing too much if she’s already stressed eg constantly talking about it makes her feel more worried and anxious so she’d rather leave it until her appointment.
