Hi all... in January I had a lump appear behind my ear (I had a sinus infection at the time)... since then glands have come up in my neck, groin and left armpit. Ive been having mild night sweats on and off, intense itching of my head and neck and a lot of pain in the areas of swollen glands and across my collar bone. I've also lost 7ibs without trying and I'm exhausted all the time. My GP said it's unlikely to be lymphoma, but referred me to endocrinology. The endocrinologist didn't know why I'd been referred to her and has referred me to haemotology, she also referred me for a CT scan with contrast to save waiting for one after seeing heamotology as she thinks they would send me for one anyway.... so I've had my scan and my heamotology appointment is next week... should i be worried ? Should I take someone with me ?... don't know how to feel at the moment, on one hand I don't want it to be lymphoma, but on the other, I'm hoping they can at least see what's causing all these pains and get it sorted... i can't even wear a wired bra at the moment as it feels uncomfortable (at first I thought I'd got pleurisy again but it never got past the uncomfortable stage). Also if I'm walking for long periods it really aggravates the lumps in my groin so that I feel like I need to just sit or lay down for a while as it's so uncomfortable..... sorry for the long winded post. I've been bottling this all up since the first lumps in January...
The ache in my lumps is there all the time but some days are worse than others and it's really getting me down, to the point that some days I have to have a good cry.
Ps had bloods done and they were all normal.
Original ear lump ultrasound showed reactive nodes but sonogropher wasn't worried as said it wasn't big enough....
