For a few months (on end) my glands have been swollen through my entire body, from my lymph nodes on my neck to the ones down around the Vaginal area, all to abnormal sizes (couldn't say exactly how big, but big for me. Honestly I can't remember except for when I was little and they where normal, I couldn't even feel them at all)I'm worried for a few reasons, one being that my mom had a Tumor removed from her neck that was on her glands about 2 years ago, though it wasn't cancerous( it was big, 1 inch)
Though I only started noticing, and remembering, about my nodes and all for the past few months (since some other medical problems popped up:

I have the idea that these are connected, and have had it for a while, but I’m posting this on here so that I can get other ideas on what it could be, so I can look them up and get information to give the doctor at my next appointment in 2 weeks. It’s a GI (the link above gives more info, though sorry for how long it is) and she told me to take notes of things for her (I’m only 16) and I decided to actually take a look at things for myself.
Though I am probably freaking myself out I know that this could really be caused by something, I’ve had a family history of cancer, as well as thyroid issues. (family have died from it) Though I don’t know exactly what, there has also been problem with the liver (which I’m having…), the intestines, and the stomach. I guess I’m just afraid that something could be wrong, and when I feel so bad it makes it so you wanna know, and not knowing at the moment is worst of all.
Anyone have any ideas?
