Hopefully someone can talk me out of worrying about this, or tell me if I need to worry more.
Been on 6MP for about two years and am about to go for my fourth remicade. Throughout this whole thing I have been super SUPER paranoid about the lymphoma warnings and have been paying close attention to things that could herald it.
Graphic talk of poop incoming:
Let me rewind to Saturday. I had basically my first solid BM in a year, but it was very light colored. It was immediately followed by a watery ORANGE one. Like, carrot orange but I have not been eating anything that could give me that color.
It made me start looking more closely at my regular ones, which I notice now are kinda yellow, but I never really noticed before and it could have been like that for a long time and I didn't notice because they were basically all liquid.
I contacted my doctor, he basically told me not to worry about it.
Then tuesday morning, I was sitting at the kitchen table and happened to lean forward against the edge of it. It HURT. I touched the area and found that a big spot just to the left of my sternum was super SUPER tender. My immediate thought was "oh ****," and then I was like, "well lets see if it goes away."
Its Wednesday night, it has not gone away.
I started checking around for other signs, eg weird lumps and such, and found that one armpit, while there is no lump in it, has really really darkened skin. I don't know if that's normal or what but all this together has me whipped into a reasonable approximation of panic.
Any thoughts here? What should I do?
