i have a swollen lymph node on the side of my neck . In October I noticed a long standing ( was borned with it) mole on my scalp had become quite crusty itchy making me picking it . I decided to get it checked by a private dermatologist as I know how long nhs waiting times are .
he looked with the dermoscope and said it looked completely normal. I asked about getting it off and it says nhs won’t do it as it’s cosmetic.
anyway I feel like I have been ill since , got 3 bouts of whatever virus was going around in October December and then a couple of weeks ago ill again .
the mole has remained there , crusty , every now and again I’ll pick at it as it gets like a proper scab .
I notice that lymph node yesterday abd today hit referred under 2ww and all il thinking is that it was cancerous all along and I should not have trusted the dermatologist.
I have been absolutely wiped out since my last bout of virus and out it down to that , but now I can’t help thinking is cancer and it’s spread .
i am in a horrible state , also thinking it could be lung cancer due to all the recent infections and coughing I have had .
I have zero appetite, don’t know if it’s the anxiety but I am just so in a panic state right now .
my last 2ww took 6 weeks which feels like a very long wait at this point .
my daughter is only 6 and my mind is going to all sorts of places .
