Hi everyone, 

I have just gone been to the doctors for a full blood test , I have no 'lumps' but I have lost 1stone this month without trying , decrease appetite, general feeling unwell most of the time and I have started getting pain in my neck and ears after consuming even a tiny bit of alcohol, I am 31 non smoke mummy to three amazing children , my youngest is only 6 months , I'm so scared , please advise me , I can't talk to my husband as he is really stressed with work, Does this sound typical of lymphoma? What are the chances of a diagnoses from blood test results? 

Any support or advice is really greatfully received , I'm desperate,

Thank you

    Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with lymphoma, I found a lump on my neck and went to the doctor. It was quite hard and painless. I had a few night sweats and lost my appetite which in turn made me lose weight.  I also had another enlarged lymph node under my arm. Your doctor would send you for a biopsy. If he was concerned, I know it's hard to say don't worry but there are a lot of tests before a final diagnosis is made. The waiting is the worst bit, the next step is for your gp to send you to an ENT consultant if he is worried. Take care
