Hi everyone. Im really worried. I have all the symptoms for lymphoma and my consultant is testing me for it i guess, but didnt mentioned that she is testing for lymhoma to me( maybe not to frighten me).. symptoms since May , lump in my neck ....i am awaiting all my results... it takes so long for the results though.. i have recently had more new symptoms since the tests they performed like very itchy skin on and off with no rush and bruise after bruise for last 4 weeks ... could it be someting else guys? Could it be lymphoma ... im so worried it is lymphoma.... . I have the on off sweats amd chills, now im ecperiencing body ache/ bone pain, like when you are coming down with bad flu kind off body pain . Im so sorry for the long post but im so worried now and still waiting for the results it takes ages... Thank you so much in advance for your advice x

    Hi, what symptoms are you having? What tests have you had done? I hope you get some answers soon. I’m waiting for chest x ray results as been feeling exhausted and unwell for ages now...keep getting intermittent fevers too but with no real cause. It’s all the what ifs going round in your head that’s the worst part I think. I too am wondering if it could be Lymphoma which is why your post caught my eye...i’m probably worrying about nothing but i’m so exhausted and run down all the time, can’t help but think there may be an underlying reason. My blood tests are all ok though - have you had any done? Best wishes - hope you get results soon and it all turns out ok xx

    I hope yous don’t mind me messaging! 

    I have been having night sweats on and off for 4 months now along with what I would describe as itchy skin.

    I have a few swollen lymph nodes in my neck which I have ultrasound on and they said they were ultrasoundly normal.

    i have had lots of bloods that have all come back normal.

    I’m monitoring what I eat but hate going to sleep knowing I’ll wake up soaking and freezing
