Pre-Diagnosis - waiting for blood tests to check for Lymphoma

Good afternoon. 

I'm looking for support or some advice, I'm currently waiting to have bloods done to check for Lymphoma. I'm 27 year old and have three children. I'm petrified. 

My current symptoms started off as a pea sized lump on my lymph nodes in my groin, then I started with night sweats, fatigue etc I'm normally fit and healthy. I have lost a lot of weight but within 1 month I have lost 10lbs. For the last 4 nights I've been having nausea, which only affects me on the night time. 

I just would like some advice/help. 

I have a great support system but I feel like I need some advice from people who are going through the same thing or have been through the same thing.

  • Welcome to the forum Anonymousg91 although I'm sorry to hear you're currently waiting for blood tests to find out if you have lymphoma.

    I know this must be a very scary and anxious time but I'm glad you've reached out to us as so many of our members have been through this, so you are not alone, and hopefully it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

    If you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    We're thinking of you Anonymousg91 and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    Kind regards,
