Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Hi everyone

I am currently being tested for Hodgkin/Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

I have a lump in my right armpit, dry cough which I've had for months, an itchy body rash over 50% of my body (which is driving me insane), sharp intermittent pains in my chest/neck/throat and hot flushes at night.

I am waiting on blood tests and results of a chest x-ray.

Will the blood test show one way or another there is something wrong?

If both the blood test and x-ray are clear what might be the next step for my GP?

Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry not logged on for a while, hmmm, I'm with you on the sedation for another bone marrow but I only had the one so hopefully you won't need another !

    Am sure treatments have changed since  mine 11 years ago but I know the lymphoma treatments are harsh cos they can't do surgery on us (generally) so they have to whack us with the full poison!!!! But .... It's *** while your going through it Karen but the response and survival rates are really good so hang on in there chick xx my pm is open so if you want to message me and swap numbers am more than happy to chat and help support you in any way I can thinking of you Sarah xx
