in response to @izzylizzy1998. I am so sorry for your suffering. Having lived for the past several years with an undiagnosed but real medical problem, I understand your frustration. I would not encourage cancer testing, cancer cannot be diagnosed without undergoing many different kinds of tests, and even then it is difficult to diagnose. Your labs" They seem okay? The WBC count might be a sign of some kind of infection, or the body's response to something that might be "off." Vomiting after drinking reminds me of college, can you abstain for awhile to see if that makes a difference. Vomiting alone is horrible enough. I am chuckling as I recall this book I had at one time in my life, "The Preppy Handbook." "Hugging the porcelain bowl" became a favorite line during college, as at some point after attending too many fraternity parties with their "jungle punch" in a large garbage container caught up with me. It really did taste like fruit punch, but later I realized they had been adding 100 proof alcohol to the mix, and the results were "official."
Lymphoma testing is complicated, results in many many repeated lab tests. While my labs are dangerously low in terms of my RBC and hemoglobin, I have been assured I do not have blood cancer, something that runs in my family. A PET scan ruled out tumors.
Are you afraid of cancer? This is a common problem, I understand. Every female relative on my mother's side of the family has had breast cancer, so I understand your fears. However, could you try to "let go" of the cancer anxiety and try to focus on something else, or "reframe" your thoughts into some kind of creative endeavor? It does not have to be perfect, but I have found that anything creative more or less sets my mind at ease, thus the huge mural I am painting on my living room wall. No one wants to get cancer, but in reality, very few are diagnosed with cancer only after repeated and expensive tests. I am not being insensitive, because I too was afraid of cancer, even though I hoped that I did have it so that I could have more "hope" about my future.
However, in your case, perhaps trying to look at yourself and your symptoms in a different light might be of benefit. Your labs are normal, swollen lymph nodes "could" be a sign of infection, and the itching could be a result of dry skin. For dry skin I use Aquaphor and it works like magic. Daily fatigue? Do you have fibromyalgia? Could the alcohol and vomiting be playing a role in your current situation? There was a period of my life when I too enjoyed a cocktail or two, but later found out I have the "X" factor, as both of my parents were alcoholics, and for me one drink was too many and ten was not enough. I quit after landing in the ER because I was afraid I was going to overdose. Imagine how I felt when my friend CJ picked me up. There I was laying on a gurney in the hallway, no shoes, looking and feeling like a vagrant. And to top it off, she called my sister and told her what happened. Go figure.
I wish you the best. I understand your cancer fear as it runs in my family. My father died of leukemia, my mother died of breast cancer that had come back and landed in her brain. Grim.
Please be kind to yourself.
