I hope you, your partner and entire family are ok in this worrying stage of your lives.
My relative who was 28 had a large lump on her collar bone, she was quite ill for some time, constant cough that wouldn't go, the cough persisted for about 2/3 months. She did visit the GP and walk in centres but actually ended up in A&E due to breathing difficulties and went into intensive care. The doctors were amazing and started Chemotherapy the next day to help relief pressure from her heart, she had an X-ray taken 3 weeks earlier and they discovered the mass on her chest was 15cm by 9cm but unfortunately the Radiologist had not published his report at the time of her A&E visit. Basically, she was finally diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphona by the hospital, she had 6 months of Chemotherapy every 2 weeks and now she is in remission, has been for 10 months.
My relative did not suffer with night sweats as far as I am aware but do recall that before being diagnosed she was complaining of any itchy back, which she has been told is also a symptom of Lymphona.
I know this will be a very worrying time, try and keep positive and please chase the GP and doctors for updates.
Hi how is your relative now. Did they have radiotherapy, has there been any long term side effects. Hope all is well
