Im worried I might have cancer?!


Question: I am just newly turned 14 and a couple days ago I found this bump on like the side of my neck. I might have a sinus infection so I didnt think anything of it, but it hasnt gone away and (since my family has a history of cancer) I think it might be lymph nodes cancer. So I went online and looked up lymph nodes cancer and tried to match up the symptoms to see if i should be worried. Im scared I might have cancer but on the other hand I could be blowing everything out of proportion, Can anyone explain some of the symptoms to help me determine whether or not I should see a doctor, or can someone give me advice on what to do. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

If you have a sinus infection, it could be regular lymph node activity. You have to see your Md for medicine for the sinus infection so just ask about the swollen lymph nodes then. Your Md will prob have you come back in once the infection is gone to re-evaluate your lymph nodes.

Highly, highly unlikely that this is cancer. The lump IS likely a swollen lymph note--a reaction to your infection. This happens all the time, and is normal. In fact, it would be odd to have a sinus infection and not have a swollen lymph node in your neck.

Common symptoms of lymphoma: unexplained weight loss; itching all over your body; great, exhausting fatigue; night sweats

Be positive in life. You must consult doctor immediately.

If it moves around like a marble, it's fine. If It's rock hard and doesn't move, contact your doctor immediately

hey i just posted a similar question cause i found a lump on my neck just wanted to tell you you arent alone, and the doc i went to said its nothing no worries. let me know how it ends up

Very unlikely that this is cancer. Go and see your Dr - it is important that your mind is put properly at rest.
