I could have cancer, and I feel so alone.

Hey, I’m 18 going through the same thing. Dropped 10 kilos of weight in seven months, gained a lump in my neck in August that’s still growing, along with one on the other side that popped up in July, and another that popped up beneath my collarbone in October. I’ve been on antibiotics twice, and they did nothing, so now I’m scheduled for a biopsy and and a bone marrow biopsy. I know what it feels like to feel like you can’t talk to anybody about it, but as cliche as this sounds, lumps pop up all the time for different reasons.

PM me if you want to rant. I’m getting an ultrasound of the neck, groin and abdomen done in Tuesday, along with an EKG, echo and lung X Ray. So I really do know what it’s like. I have yet to tell anybody. It can feel like it’s eating you up inside sometimes, but that knot in your stomach loosens if you can keep yourself busy to stop from overthinking.
