Lymphoma

I found a lump in my groin. Around an inch long. I’m female and 22. It’s in the crease of my pubic area where the lymph nodes are. It feels like a small hard sausage. I have recently past few months been having night sweats, severe. Making my hair great the next day. Bedsheets wet. I have had severe itchy legs (mainly below the knee) past 6 months. (Not bugs/searched everywhere) I get pins and needles daily in my legs.(to do with the itching maybe?) I am severely tired. I get a pain in my hosukder around 3x times a week lasting 1-3 days. Night sweats 3x a week-5 I have lost a severe amount of weight. None of my clothes fit me. I have constant aches. Am severely tired. I suffer with depression and anxiety. And I’m not sure if I’m over reacting. I searched the lump in groin and the lymphoma is the thing that popped up. Then the symptoms made me feel sick. I don’t know if I’m over reacting but I have two children and am unsure what to do. Do I go to the doctor? I don’t want to leave it any longer. I’m just so unsure and am worried that am not over reacting. I have signed up to this site to speak to other people in the same situation and find out their outcomes as I’m not sure who to turn to. I don’t want to worry my family. And I’m not someone to go to the doctors. I suffer with anxiety wich I believe causes memory loss and confusing and irritability and I’m really struggling with work and university life. Especially since I have found the lump. Thankyou for anyone that takes the time to read

  • Good luck Courtney - I hope it is nothing.  I am going through similar, my anxiety is through they roof.  I have been referred urgently to ENT for investigation for several enlarged lymph nodes in my neck.  I havent had any other symptoms though, bu they are all fixed, hard, not painless.  I also notice a lump in the floor of my mouth but can only feel with my tounge or finger cannot be seen.  I cannot work out if it is in the tissue, or on the very bottom of my jaw bone.  No idea what that is... but any lumps are worrying me at the moment. 

    My hospital appt is on Thursday x

  • Also wondering will the biopsy be a needle or removal, I’m quite nervous as will they take it out of my groin or neck or both? I’m thinking the groin might hurt a little!x
