I'm gonna be signing off soon @ArraDreaming but I'm sending you many hugs and hope that you are able to get off to sleep okay. I think it's like @Birdofparadise8 says, you're extremely unlikely to die, so try to focus on what you can control and put the anxious thoughts to rest - something I do sometimes is to imagine myself putting the anxious thoughts into a box in my mind. Then whenever my brain tries to refocus on them I'm like 'nope, those are in a box until something can be done with them'.
Maybe watch something on tv or something to help distract yourself for now. I will talk to you whenever we're both on next. You will be okay 💜

I’ve only read the initial post, but I have had swollen lymph nodes. They are one symptom of potential cancer, but they aren’t conclusive.
I remember mine, I was having a consultation for jaw surgery when I mentioned it to my doctors, because by then I was in horrendous pain. I thought they would shove me onto a stretcher and wheel me in for scans or something, but they were super chill about it. They were so incredibly painful, though, I hope you’re feeling better soon.

Sorry @ArraDreaming
I fell asleep.
I hope you slept alright.
Maybe just give the nurse a call if you are still worried.

Hey @ArraDreaming ,
My niece had swollen nymph nodes about 3 weeks ago. She had an ultrasound and there were some ear the bottom of her ear and a big on under her chin. It was very painful for her.
It ended up being linked to an infection in the body. So after a course of antibiotics, she was fine.
Seeing you have been unwell, you may have an infection. Go see your "lovely" GP.
