Could this be related to a serious illness?!
Question: Could this be related to a serious illness?
I took an overdose just a bit over 2 years ago.
Since october 2010 i have found a lump in my neck (presumably a lymph node) in novermeber i went to the doctors and he said come back if it hasnt changed or gone within two weeks. I never went back even though it had not changed at all, now (february 2011) i went back because i found another lump under my chin. He took a blood test and i have not had results yet. I was wondering because the liver is a part of the lymph node system that the overdose could of affected my liver and symptoms are just starting for some kind of serious illness/disease.
Please help
I am a 15 year old female, 57kg, 5ft3 (in case health reasons matter)
My aunty + nan have both had cancer (one died) and my other nan's sister has recovered from breast cancer (no history of lymphoma).

Answers:
please wait for the results
at a very young age like yours it would be highly unusual
that cancer will overcome you
