Symptoms of lymphoma?

I want to keep it brief, I'm going out of my mind, these are my symptoms:

I basically feel like I've been mugged and booted in my ribs directly under/ behind my boobs, my sternum is too sore to touch as is my underarms (the pain in them is an ache and I feel like I have a marble under my right arm deep inside my pit (can't feel it with fingers) only when I rest my arm down, I have a one stop clinic appointment in 10 days, my doctor initially diagnosed an inflammation of the rib cage but my armpits are now sore...small lump in my neck - between the collar one and ear lobe on the left side, also back ache high up ...are these symptoms of lymphoma..I'm 32 and single with 2 young  children

    Hi I was diagnosed with lymphoma in January.

    I had a dull back ache which radiated down my arms along with weight loss, a dry cough, pain when drinking alcohol ect.

    It took many months for my diagnosis however I was eventually sent for a chest xray which revealed a 10cm mass in my sternum. As soon as I began chemo the back pain went. Please go back go your GP if your still concerned.  Im 28 with a 2 and 7 year old so it's been tough but I got through it. If you are diagnosed there is a hodgkin lymphoma page on Facebook which is really helpful xx
