Worried about lymphoma

Hi there, was just looking for some advice/support

 

around 5 weeks ago I notice a rather bone like lump on my right side of my neck, then realised there is another lump just under my jawline. The doctor has scheduled a blood test for tomorrow and has sent me for an urgent ultrasound on my neck and an X-ray on my chest. 
 

ive been really worried as I just don't feel right! I've had continuous night sweats (2-3 times a week for a while), currently have thrush in my mouth, have difficulty catching my breath in the morning and am extremely tired. im

obviously really worried something sinister is going on. 
 

i am in no way looking for a diagnosis, just wishing to chat to people who are in a similar situation or perhaps have had similar symptoms and what their outcome was? 
 

ive just joined so a massive hello to everyone

 

thanks in advance for reading my post.

    Hi really sorry you're going through this, I have a hard pea sized lump right under my jaw, it's been there for years but now seems slightly bigger and I can feel a few more around it . I went to gp yday who referred me for ultra sound, feeling very worried xxxx

    Hi both thanks for your comments. It's not a nice wait at all! It's the not knowing that is getting to me and the overthinking of every single thing. I feel very lucky that my gp has taken me seriously and could feel these lumps straight away. I would definitely get a second opinion and fingers crossed for all of us that the ultrasounds just show enlarged lymph nodes and nothing else. Please do let me know how you both get on and I will let you know what happens in my case. So nice to have people to talk to who are going through the same stress that i am.
