Hello all...
about 3 weeks ago i noticed my upper right leg / groin area had a lymph node that was getting big on me...at first i didnt pay it much attention, but after about a week it was really hurting me, i went to a Prompt Care place here, the Dr said it was prolly an STD, but i knew that wasnt it.. i told her i had smoked for 12 years, and that it scared me, she didnt even listen to my lungs....she gave me some peniculun in case it was an STD and sent me on my way....
that was last monday, so a week and a half ago, i made an appt with a family doctor here, but since i dont already have one, and am going to be a new patient, i have to wait till next week for an appt...
my question is , could lung cancer cause just one lymph node to swell...and i mean, its big too.... and sometimes painful.... i have no cough, no blood, and not much fatigue, although some, but that could be from too much work
does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? should i go get the ER to look at it, i dont like the idea of waiting another week, but i cant get in to see a Dr sooner.... i hope its just paranoia, but im scared....
thanks
michael
