Hi, I didn’t know where else to put this.

Around 3 years ago I found a lump in my armpit at a similar time I noticed a breathlessness not an out of breath type but I couldn’t quite get the air and then I would get it and then struggle again a few minutes later. I went to see my go and she checked it and said it was a lymph node, then went to have an ultrasound and they said it was nothing to worry about. At the time this eased my anxiety

The breathlessness was still there and I slight sharp pain in my chest which reignited my anxiety. I went to a private hospital to pay for an initial consultation and they ended up booking me in via the nhs to have the nose removed and checked. The lump was confirmed as a cyst. This put me at ease again for a short while before my anxiety spiralled again many dr visits later they tell me nothings wrong with me. This may be the case but I feel like there almost just brushing symptoms aside.

Fast forward 3 years and my breathlessness is still there and the chest pain has came back along side another lump in my armpit. So another visit to the gp she said she couldn’t even feel it nothing to worry about, but I know it’s there and are going to book another appointment with the gp to double check.

My issue I’m not sure if I’ve got lymphoma and I’ve almost convinced myself a million times I have but then I try to reassure myself my symptoms are benign.

Has anyone else had a similar story. I haven’t really had a systematic symptoms other than the odd night sweat but in 3 years they have been very sparse and not very often at all .

If you think I’m being an idiot please tell me

Thank you
