Really scared I have lymphoma

Hi,

So for just over the last month I've been experiencing different symptoms and when I rung 111 they said they wanted to rule out lymphoma. These are my symptoms.

I have several enlarged lumps on my neck for the past month, all where lymph nodes reside. My neck is now aching a lot in the last few days.

I am severely fatigued, I wake up tired, I went to the cinema the other day and that really took it out of me and I was sitting down the majority of that day!

I have extremely itchy skin all over my body.

My body has been hurting in the last week or so but it doesn't feel like muscle pain.

Loss of appetite

Pin pirck sensation sometimes (nervous system issue?)

Abdomen/flank pain

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated as i am pretty scared right now

 

  • Hi,

    I didn't want to read and run as this sounds just like me! I don't have any advice as waiting for test results myself.

    Have you been asked for a blood test? I had one last week to check for inflammation markers and one results came out ridiculously high.

    hope your ok.

  • Hi! 

    That's okay! It's nice to know we're in the same boat as horrible as that sounds haha 

    I had a phone call appointment with my doctor about 3 or 4 weeks ago and they just prescribed me a steroid cream for my itchiness but that was it. I got told to wait until the lumps have been there for 4 weeks as it would only be concerning then. I've rung up the doctors and have an appointment this Thursday so I guess I'll find out then‍♀️

    I hope you're doing okay as well :)
