Lump in groin and symptoms

Hello everyone, 

I hope this is the best place to leave this! I am currently going through an investigation following a lump in my groin. I have just had an ultrasound which is confirmed to be a lymph node but no further info really.

The doctor wants to do some blood tests and a chest x-ray as I have been having night sweats. I have had a lot of health stuff this year too like a skin keratosis which popped up out of nowhere and general fatigue. 

My night sweats are light though and I don't need to change the covers. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Does this sound like lymphoma?!

I am also worried as I have had a tattoo removal in the past (which I didn't finish fully as I got pregnant!) - could this somehow be affecting my lymph nodes?! 

Sorry I am a bit lost with it all and feeling quite anxious now...

Thank you

    Thank you! I am so concerned about the effects of the tattoo removal and if it has caused the lump! :( I have a referral for biopsy but it's 2 months as non-urgent and potentially might not even get done as my blood work isn't too concerning...
