Swollen lymph node

Got a previous post, health anxiety is ruining my life but what makes someone who has health anxiety different from someone who actually is sick? I have one raised lymph nodes in my lower left neck above collar bone. I went to a GP who did a full blood count who said it was fine. I have no infection or cold and it's still up. I have no idea how long it's been there. I'm terrified it's cancer, the GP said if the blood test came back normal to forget it incase it grows ? My life is hell everyday, I can't focus, enjoy anything and feel like I'm going to die. Tik tok, Google and other posts here suggest raised lymph nodes without infection is cancer. I'm on mirtazipine it does nothing. I don't even have the strength to keep an eye on it then I'll have to go back and tell them it's not gone down... I give up... I'm living no quality of life I'm anxious every second of everyday.

I have raised lymph nodes all over. They go away very occassionally. I dont have cancer. There are a lot of reasons for them

I really feel for you and your health anxiety. It sounds crippling. I really hope you are able to get help with it x

What do you hope to get from this thread that you didn’t get from the one you posted a few hours ago?

Nobody here can help you. You need to speak to your GP about mental health services.

Have you had a covid jab? Apparently there was a big increase in enlarged lymph nodes (benign) after covid jabs.

I do have cancer and don’t have any raised lymph nodes.

You need to stop these threads.

nobody should be reassuring you as it makes the cycle worse

sorry to sound harsh but get some proper help for the health anxiety
