I'm not usually one to reach out on a forum but I'm driving myself crazy and convinced (though trying not to be) that my various lumps all add up to be lymphoma of some kind. I'm 49, female. What should have reassured me was seeing a nurse practitioner who examined most of the areas and concluded they are the same both sides so are normal. I'm not at all convinced! And I have new lumps she didn't feel. The new and most worrying ones are in the infraclavicular area (below clavicle - on the left). These lumps weren't there before a few weeks ago, I've always been fairly good at breast exams so would have noticed them in the past. As well as these lumps, I have lots along my inner thighs, more on the left, and not necessarily near my groin but further down my thigh, along there until about half way. I can feel a lump on the inside of my left arm above my elbow joint too. I thought I felt lumps behind my knees too, not so sure now and the nurse couldn't feel them. I have very lumpy upper arms too, at the front inner side, going down as far as half way to my elbow. My armpits seem okay, above my clavicle on left I'm unsure, and left of neck (back line up) I think I can feel a lump but unsure. Maybe I just have a lot of lumps in my tissue!?? Maybe age does this? They all feel like they have round edges as if they are a complete round or oval lumps, with a few feeling like they also have a horseshoe shaped hard vein type thing on them (one in thigh, one in arm, one in chest). There are so many of these obvious lumps, some are quite hard, I can't decide if it means I have many areas of swollen nodes or am I just lumpy?! I feel generally fatigued but I have flare ups of fatigue anyway now and then for years. I have a lot of hot moments at night, but not proper sweating (I had many hot flashes about 2-3 years ago for my early menopause, and the hot flushes stopped about a year ago and this doesn't feel the same - this is getting over heated not suddenly and not fading quickly like a hot flush). I lost 1 stone in weight earlier this year, between March and May... but I needed to and need to lose more as a bit overweight but I haven't continued to lose anymore (I overeat a bit, have lowered exercise due to fatigue and weather, so really i guess the weight thing is irrelevant!). My last 3 blood tests from about sept 2019 to September this year have shown elevated ALP, just over really, and not much else. That's enough info! Sorry for long post. I do have a telephone appt Wednesday with a GP and a) feel silly and b) I'm worried she'll fob me off because I saw her about 6 weeks ago with what I thought was a lump below my sternum but she says is my sternum....! She said go back if it feels bigger as I know my body but this is totally unrelated and I've a history of worrying over nothing. I've had many traumas in my life though, and stress can cause cancer, that's a fact I believe. I hope someone can be honest with me, and of course I am seeking professional advice, but I'm just really trying hard to work out if it's nornal to become lumpy like this with age!! Has my tissue just become lumpy??
