Lymphoma

Hi,

I've been going back and forth to the doctors for months with different symptoms of lymphoma, yet being told it isn't anything. I have shooting pains/tingling in one side of my head, a swollen lymph node (not extremely big but you can feel it), sweating at night trying to sleep, tired all the time and breathlessness. my knees downwards are extremely tickle/itchy/tingly all the time. My throat feels tight all the time yet the doctor tells me to just wait a couple weeks and see what happens. I've been given tablets for reflux etc but I amnt sure if they are helping.

im only 19 so it's quite nerve wracking for me.

anyone got any advice on what to do? 
 

thanks

    sorry to hear you aren't being listened to. My symptoms are slightly different I have a few palpable but not "swollen" lymph nodes mostly on the left side of my body and in my neck including my collarbone (worries me the most) but a cm-2cm in my armpit   and a weird blister looking thing on my tonsil that isn't an infection lol! 
     

    just keep ringing every day. I have an appointment Friday over the phone with my doctor. I've had swabs, bloods, ultrasounds, chest X-ray and been told they are reactive but no idea what to. If I didn't have the collarbone one right under my skin and discomfort from my armpit one or the weird tonsil thing I'd probably be satisfied with the tests but I'm not especially with coronavirus making it seem more vital to need the answers. I have a toddler to run around after too! 
     

    I'm 24 and it's been going on at least since I was 23. 
     

    I hope you get answers soon x
