After speaking with my GP due to my raised lymph node in my neck, I was told if in 6 to 8 weeks if the node is still there but has not grown or experiencing any other symptoms that I don't need to ring back. Is this the same advise that anyone else has had due to 1 raised lymph node? I am feeling a little more positive compared to my posts yesterday.
I have been referred to the mental health team which is a good step. The fact that the lymph node is there with no infection in my blood scares me. I wanted to push for an ultrasound of this node but the GP said it wasn't necessary as it wasn't a size or had grown to be concerned about. Will this node just be up for the rest of my life ? I've been so frightened that I've got cancer I can't tell you and that it's just spreading. How can you even live like this checking your moles and lymph nodes constantly. Even my dermatologist examining my new moles was not enough. I thought she'd have cut them out. I guess I just wanted to hear from others who are experiencing a raised lymph nodes and it been fine and also tips for dealing with health anxiety ? I know I've posted before but trying my best.
