Health anxiety stalks me and today I am really, really bad.
Took DD(10) to GP today as she has found a lump in neck, under her jaw. It has been there a few days but DD only just told us. I thought it may be a salivary gland.
GP did not reassure me, other than saying its a gland and she has another one next to it, but 'its nothing to worry about - come back in 2 weeks if its still there and we will do some blood tests'. I was almost in tears with worry, and the doctor was surprised I am so worried.
Has anyone else been through this? I am terrified DD may have leukaemia or something.
