Google is simply brilliant at connecting you with scary symptoms - which in all
probability you don’t actually have. Those of us a bit further down the track know the extraordinary range of twinges, pains, odd sensations etc that manifest before an important test. Or any time when you are feeling stressed. Anxiety likes to make itself felt! We get used to these ‘ghosts’ and when we do, they usually vanish. Tell your oncologist by all means but give up googling. If it worked, we would have no need of surgeons and oncologists. My early mucking around on Google indicated unquestionably that I had inflammatory breast cancer - I didn’t. The waiting is hard to do but Google is not your friend. Even if lymph nodes were enlarged, it doesn’t necessarily mean malignancy. I had a lot of very enlarged nodes, and all but one were simply ‘irritated’ by the nearby tumour - no malignancy at all. Chemo will also mop up any cancer prone cells, even at extremely early stages. Eleven years on and so far I am well, no recurrence. Take heart, this is winnable! Best wishes.
