Hi Lewis_15, I went back 2 years and re-read your posts. It sounds like from age 17-19

you have had many sore throats as well as these little lumps. You said you are not too

good in keepubg track and taking your antibiotics. Unless you follow the instructions to a

"T" with antibiotics, the infection never really clears up and may come back over and over.

It might be what's happening. Let your doctor know that you aren't taking the pills

according to his orders. He might want to give you a shot in stead to clear the infection

once and for all.

I'm wondering why you are so fixated on Cancer? Did someone in your family or a friend

have it before you started focusing on it? You say that besides worrying about everything

being cancer, you are in good health. It might be a good time to talk with a therapist about

your Health Anxiety. You are at the time of your life that you should be enjoying every

moment. Hope you start feeling better soon. xx

I google a research and it’s horrible , I fight to stay off it , a sneeze and it sounds horrible, don’t web search

Sounds almost like mono, totally curable, go see an ENT have them check your throat and blood work, the fact that your glands are swollen shoes it’s fighting an untreated infection seeing you havnt taken your pill on regular basis. An ENT will help you . Prayers all is normal soon. Keep in touch❤️
