Hi, I have been in touch with my GP for the last few months because of ongoing drenching night sweats. I'm only 33, but I thought perhaps i was experiencing perimenopause because my periods (although continue to be regular) have also changed. I have also had persistent fatigue on and off for months, sometimes it feels exhausting to just be awake! I had covid 2 weeks ago and was very unwell in bed for 2 days, but have been negative for 5 days now and feel better. Last week I found a lump just above my left collarbone but put this down to a swollen gland with having covid. The next day i found another lump, much larger, in my armpit - feels like a marble. Two days later I found another lump on the right side of my neck in the superior cervical zone. I've had a low grade fever for 2 weeks now. Yesterday I weighed myself and discovered I'd lost half a stone in 9 months without trying or noticing.

I had bloods taken yesterday and was expecting raised inflammatory/infection markers - but everything looks normal? I am still waiting for results of Bence Jones Protein urine test and protein electrophoresis blood result. 

I'm well aware that i'm hitting a lot of red flags here and that i should feel reassured as my bloods are fine. However, I wondered if normal bloods doesn't necessarily mean no cancer? Surely my infection/inflam markers would be raised if the lymph nodes were swollen because of covid? So, why have they swollen? The lumps are painless, immobile, not rock hard - but not squidgy either. Is a biopsy still needed even with normal bloods?

Thanks
