Am I being silly?

[Jayde_96]

So I’m currently worrying that I have a tumour in my throat.

Today I was having a Conversation about an old man who has throat cancer. I suddenly become very aware of a lump in my throat on one side ....

For months my glands swell up and go back down.. well I think it’s that but could it be cancer?

Yet again I am worrying sick! I’m 23 yr old female have had many blood tests am I being silly or should I be worried?

You’re not silly, you’re just sensitized. However; I think you are just fine. Your blood work would have shown something. Remember your glands respond to a lot of environmental elements as well as internal. So they’re doing their job just fine. Try not to focus on it.

Thank you so much for the reassurance x

Hi relax as a cancerous lump wouldn't go down again but just keep on growing. Also throat cancer is much more likely in a much older person especially a long term smoker x

Hi Jayde! Anxiety sometimes makes us feel like we have a lump in our throat when we worry. It’s normal but it isn’t cancer, don’t worry too much but when it happens again DEEP BREATHS, shift your focus onto other things that are positive ❤️

If the lumps go down you should be ok. Our bodies heal themselves pretty quickly. When something is wrong it usually will not heal. That's when you see the doctor.
