Should I be worried its lymphoma?

Hi, I'd like some advice from others please..For around 6 months I've had a swollen lymph node that is really painful next day after drinking. Also been getting very heavy periods and some night sweats and itchy back. I'm probably being well paranoid but did anyone else have heavy periods and how would you describe the node pain? Mine is really achy and hurts to touch day after. Oh and its moveable too despite being swollen. I've been referred for ENT appt but not under urgent and also separate ultrasound for pelvis so it seems the Doctor isn't concerned....Experience and advice from others would be greatly received, thank you.

  • Welcome to the forum Kitty although I'm sorry for the worry this lymph node and the other symptoms you've been experiencing are causing.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences and advice with you soon but in the meantime we'll have our fingers crossed you won't have to wait too long for your ENT appt and that the results from your ultrasound bring good news when they come through.

    I hope the tips and advice given in this article will help keep your nerves at bay whilst you wait.

    Kind regards,
