Hi there

I hope its OK to post?

I did a silly thing and googled some random stuff that's been happening to my body - outcome of which mentioned lymphoma.

I don't usually take Google doctor too seriously, but this one has been playing on my mind.

I've been dealing with itching for several years which is getting worse.  Recently I've started to become really breathless doing very little, and sweat a crazy amount.  I have trouble with bloating/feeling full a lot recently. Last week I felt a lump in my armpit which is still there.

Should I see my GP.  I'm worried I'll sound like a hypochondriac lol 

Thank you x

  • Hi and welcome across to our little corner.

    You are not a hypochondriac, you are just looking for answers but the worst thing you can do is do random Dr Google search’s...... not a good plan.

    Yes, you go talk with your GP purely to get the “what if’s” out of your mind and get some answers.

    There are many symptoms that ‘could’ be connected to Lymphoma but could just as well be something completely different.

    Get that appointment arranged and get back to tell us how you get on.

    Hi Mike 

    Thanks for the quick reply Relaxed

    Yes I think I'll get myself along to GP, Covid permitting, rather than let this niggle at me!

    I've dispensed with Dr Google's services!

  • Hi Ann, yes Dr Google is a very dangerous rabbit hole that can take you to very dark places.

    I have had a few phone GP consultations (not cancer related) over COVID times and they were very effective and if required I could have been able to see my GP if this had been needed.

    ((hugs))
