Scared I have Lymphoma

Hi, 

I have never been so scared in my life

I have pains under my arms and in my collarbones. I have really itchy skin at night, sweats and have pressure in my chest causing difficulty breathing & a cough.

Last week I had a full blood test and my doctor has called me back for more tests next week. I also have a chest xray tomorrow. 

The waiting & not knowing is the worst part. Does anyone else find it really hard to talk about how your feeling? X

    I had my chest xray which was clear. Since then a lump has appeared on my neck. I have had a second lot of blood tests but all I have been told so far is I have kidney damage. My GP did an Urgent referral after looking at the lump & getting the bloods back.

    So tomorrow I have a scan, biopsy & more bloods.

    My itching is still constant, I have extreme fatigue and my neck, collarbones, arms & armpits ache, it's like a burning sensation. I now also have abdominal pain, bouts of diarrhoea and have lost half a stone in 3 wks.

    My fingers are crossed for good news but the longer it goes on the less positive I feel
