I have posted in here a few weeks ago regarding a cyst/lymph node I developed under my armpit after being on a night out drinking 2 times . the 2nd time i came on my period the day after and I was told the lump in my armpit was due to hormones etc. of course my anxiety is telling me different. after I found the lump I had a few drinks during that week as it was Christmas, I did not have any pain while drinking alcohol and I did not have pain where the lump was , but I am still paranoid that the lump appeared due to lyphoma after my night of heaving drinking. I have a small node in my groin which has been there 5 years roughly the size of a pea and it has never changed size.

my question is , what does main from drinking alcohol related to lyphoma feel like?? would I get a small pea size lump in my armpit ? I was told ot was a cyst and it does go away (pretty sure I can still feel the cyst sack )

I don't have any other symptoms other than occasionally itching which im sure is due to my anxiety.

is my anxiety getting the better of me again??

I've had 2 lots of bloods test which don't show anything other than fatty liver which I'm having a scan for in a few weeks .

I have food days and bad days, but it's now got to the point I'm terrified to touch a drop of alcohol incase I have symptoms.

    you would not get lymphoma as a result of a night of drinking the lump u are feeling in your armpit is most likely a gland mine get sore an an be felt alot more before my period is due its normal and not due to drinking alcohol

      thank you for your reply, I'm not saying I think the alcohol can cause lyphoma , but I have seen that pain in lymph nodes can be a sign of lyphoma ?? so I'm worried that this is the case? I'm aware I'm probably being over dramatic, but my constant anxiety makes me think the worst and obesity out 2 and 2 together.

      i think ur overthinking things as there are many symptoms of lymphoma there would enlarged lymph nodes, fever, drenching sweats, unintended weight loss, itching, and constantly feeling tired. The enlarged lymph nodes are usually painless. The sweats are most common at night.

      you have pain in yours which is not common with lymphoma and more common with a swollen gland most likely due your hormones and your period as i said common in the week before a period to feel larger painful glands
