Please advice

Hi Im 20 years old and at the end of June i noticed a small pea sized lump behind my ear i thought nothing of it until i fainted went to A&E and my blood platelets were 49! They went back up after a week but i still felt awful and dizzy and id started getting big bruises everywhere for no reason, night sweats, itchy skin, i literally cannot drink alcohol anymore it makes me feel awful I get sore neck legs and feel sick, Ive experienced unexplained weight loss in a short amount of time, and now i have about 10 lumps on my neck, i had an ultrasound and it came back with all my lumps under 2cm but maybe lymphoma, then i had to have a Ct scan and it came back as swollen lymph nodes but none of significant size, now ive tried to explain my symptoms but no one seems interested, they just keep telling me to wait for them to get bigger because it may be due to infection, ive had my infection markers checked about 8 time snow literally no signs of infection, and i havent been “unwell” ive never had swollen bodes from infection before either, they arent going away and very slowly getting bigger theyve been here for about 3 months now but keep being told wait for them to go away,

i now have lumps on my breast and in my groin, i have a gut feeling something is up but i dont feel listened to

had an ENT appointment and i was told to wait til they are 2cm for a biopsy

  • Hi there rw2003 and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about the symptoms you have and can appreciate how concerning these are for you.

    Unfortunately, no one here can say what these lumps have been caused by, if you are worried and the lumps are getting worse then you do need to let your GP know.

    It sounds like these have been checked out with various scans and nothing has indicated a need for a biopsy so far. If however they aren't settling or are getting worse you need to speak to your doctor so they can reassess you. If needed they can refer back to the hospital for a possible biopsy if necessary.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the best
