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

    Hello, I hope you are okay and you were seen by a specialist and everything was fine. I am in a similar boat to you but it is my boyfriend going through this and I am petrified. 
     

    My boyfriend has a huge golf sized lump on the front of his neck, slightly towards the right. He often has small bumps on his neck that come and go and we thought nothing of it. He also suffers badly with night sweats.

    He went to the doctor today because of the unusual lump on his neck and he was told that it is suspected cancer. They also found some on his groin area. He has an urgent appointment next week for further tests. He is in his early 20s. He has also lost over 3st in a few months. 
    I feel physically sick. I don't know what to do.
