Lymphoma? HL? NHL? something else?

About 8 months ago a lump came up just inside my right collarbone. I saw the GP, she said I would have to wait two weeks and if it was still there she would refer me. Well, it went away. Only it came back a few weeks ago. It's kidney bean shaped (I think, it's def not round), about an inch long, it's sometimes tender, my neck aches in the evening and sometimes the morning. A few days ago another lump appeared, much smaller and round, like a smallish pea, next to the other one. This one is sore all the time. 

I have had night sweats but not sure if I'm just hot.

I've seen a different gp and she took bloods (nothing significant other than crp 129) and has referred me for an ultrasound, and I'm currently awaiting that appointment.

Of course I've googled these things and it comes back with the worst. 

Can anyone suggest anything non cancer related?

I hsvd a 13 month old son and the thought of being away from him or not seeing him grow up breaks my heart.

  • Hi Reb, 

    I know that many of our members would agree that this time waiting for tests,scans and results can be very difficult. It's really frustrating wanting to know the answers and inevitably many people turn to the internet for information. Unfortunately there is a lot of incorrect information available on the web and it can cause a lot of additional stress. 
    You might find it more helpfu lto have a chat with one of our nurses. You can call them free from a UK landline on 0808 800 4040 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). 

    In the meantime, try to take each day at a time and not to think too far ahead (easier said than done I know!). 

    Best wishes,
