Hi Cam1,

Sorry to hear you are feeling anxious about having lymphoma.

I also had a similar experience 2 years ago- I had an enlarged, unmovable lymph node on my neck which gradually got bigger over a few months to the size of a golf ball. I was also very fatiqued, and was so achy I could barely get out of bed some days.Was urgently referred to a specialist who did an ultrasound and a biopsy and also a PET scan to see if there were any further enlarged nodes. The results came back as multiple enlarged nodes through my entire body- safe to say I was convinced I had Lymphoma. 

However, my biopsy and ultrasound came back as simply reactive nodes- no cancer! Lots of tests and referrals later, i was given a diagnois of Lupus which is an auto-immune condition. 

Try not to google your symptoms too much as it always shows the worst case scenario! There are alot of other condition it can be, however its best to get them looked at professionally just in case. If it does turn out to be lymphoma, these is a very curable disease so try not to panic untill you have confirmation.

Hope that helps!

Hi, I have very similar symptoms to you and had an ultrasound which was fine but I'm still worrying as I've got the classic symptoms of itching, night sweats, have you had any results back yet? Xx
