[Always *]

My boyfriend found a small lump in his throat. I'm not sure if it's related to the fact that he was sick recently or not. It seems like it could be caused by a lot of things. And one of them is thyroid cancer. It's kind of concerning even though it's probably not wicked common. He promised to get it checked out next week if it still doesn't go away. However, I can not stop worrying about it. I don't want to worry him by telling him I'm actually worried. Since he is going to the doctor if it doesn't go away, I know I should stop worrying but I have such a high level of anxiety at the best of times that I know I'll worry endlessly until A) it goes away or B) he sees a doctor. Has anyone ever had a thing like that before? What was it?
