Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma suspected.

Hi,

 

I just need some advice and some answers if anyone can help. So about 18/24 months ago I started to get itchy skin not 24/7 but every few days. Over the last 6 months it's changed to every day, night sweats everyday, resulting in waking up at 5:3Oam and needing to bath or shower. In December I noticed a small lump on my neck which has gone on to grow bigger each week to the point now where it's noticeable. I saw my gp and now referred to my hospital I've seen a E.N.T doctor and now got to have a scan & possible biopsies next week. I've become very sleepy, breathless, more itchy, eye sight getting worse, forgetful, pains in my ankle and since then a lump on my head has now appeared. I'm trying to be positive but I'm scared. 

From the day of ultrasound what is the process if it's found? And has anyone else had the same as me and it turnt out to be nothing serious, just would like some reassurance that there is other reasons. 

Thanks.
