Alright so I'm 15 and 6'2 159. I sort of worry about things and I've thought i've had Scoliosis, testicular cancer and now lymphoma. I'm probably just over worrying again but here it goes.
Well it started when my friends dad got lymphoma and since i always worry about things when i hear the name of a new disease i go home and do research.
I check for any enlarged lymph nodes and i find one on each side not really enlarged but i could feel them when i pressed down around my neck with a finger they were relatively soft like a little bit squishier than a rubber ball and i guess i could move them but i dont really know what moving it really means but when i pushed on it it rolled away from my finger.
So i kept feeling around my neck that night for more and then went to bed not too concerned because they weren't what people really described as a cancerous lymph node.
The next morning i woke up and i had more on my right side like 3 or four more and the ones i was feeling the day before were a little bigger. than i started to worry and went searching the internet and that was really the only symptom i had of lymphoma so i decided to leave them alone for the day to see if they went down. I also woke up with a very minimal soar throat that went away later. I went to a fireworks show by some woods that night also.
Now today i wake up feeling good and they have all shrunk down until i feel the ones in my groin and something that may be a lymph node in my left superclavicular area but it feels more like a cord and i think is longer than a node. I also feel a new smaller sort of harder lymph node behing my right ear that feels like a rubber ball and has went from small to very small when i stopped touching it.
I have allergies but i havent felt anything about them for a few weeks and my lymph nodes are also only feelable if i press down on them besides the one behind my ear that sticks out a little bit more. Another thing is i haven't really had much weight loss but in the morning im usually around 157 and used to be around 160 in the morning but i think that is because i played a real lot of basketball lately and dropped a little fat pounds
Sorry that this is so long but im kind of concerned. I have no other symptoms but i have heard stories online of people with no other symptoms. Ya i posted something like this before but this is real in depth i also think it showed more of how much i worry. Should i go to the doctor or wait and see if they go down to not feelable or if i get other symptoms?
Oh and i have a few itchy red bumps ( 2 on back one on arm 2 on leg and 1 on neck) but i think these are mosquito bites which is why i said i went to a fireworks show by woods
lol tbh thats what i needed to hear
one of the nodes does stick out and i can feel it by brushing my fingers over it and it is behind the ear but still feels pretty small
