HI, I have joined this chat as I am really worried I may have lymohoma. I'm a 42 year old female and have been suffering with night sweats and itchy skin for a while but put this down to menopause as I had a full hysterectomy 4 years ago. A few weeks ago I noticed a small lump in my neck but didn't think much of it but also noticed I felt more tired than usual and my husband kept telling Me to go amd get checked at the doctors. I went to my gp nearly 2 weeks ago who said it looked like an enlarged lymoh node and sent me for a full blood count and suggested if they came back clear he would refer for an ultra sound . My bloods came back clear but in the time I was waiting I started to feel really unwell and my stomach has swollen like I'm pregnant and have developed a dry cough. On Friday my sister took me to a and e as my stomach was so swollen. I saw a doctor who said she could feel 2 enlarged lymph nodes in my neck she's referred me straight over to same day emergency unit. I was seen by a doctor who asked me questions he also examined my neck and told me he could feel 2 lymph nodes he then asked to check under my arms and found 2 larger lymph nodes he straight away said I needed an urgent ct scan within 2 weeks which I have next week. I'm just worried about what it could be as I don't feel right and feel I haven't for a while but just put it down to the menopause. I have a family history of lymphoma and all of these have successfully been treated and recovered from it so I'm not worried about that I'm just worried about how it will wlefdect my life if it is lymphoma as I work fulltime and I never take time off work apart from my hysterectomy and a broken foot, I'm currently off work as don't have the energy to go. I just wanted to vent really as don't want to alarm my family and friends too much. Thankyou for taking the time to read this xx
