Hi, I’m Cher aged 43. I have lots of horrible symptoms that seem to be pointing towards lymphoma;
itchy skin mainly on arms & legs
head aches
neck, shoulder & chest pains
dry cough
loose teeth & bleeding gums
pain in breasts & behind ear
pain in jaw when opened wide
swollen hands & feet
depression & anxiety
bone pain
sore throat
fatigue
dizzIness
feeling poorly-flu like
brain fog
poor concentration
forgetfulness
shortness of breath
I honestly feel as though I’m dropping to bits. Has anyone else had such a huge list of symptoms? I’ve been to GP. He’s referred me for a chest X-ray which I’m having tomorrow, & bloods which is booked for next Thursday. My uncle & my Grandad both died from leukaemia. My Mam had a really rare cancer that started at the base of the skull & went up the back of her nose, filled her sinus cavity & then went round her eye & up to her brain. I feel very alone right now. I’ve got the best husband, kids, family & friends around me, but I’m not sharing my thoughts & fears with them. I’m just waiting to have these tests done first.
