Referral for lymphoma symptoms

Hi all,

My GP wants to refer me due to symtoms he thinks are asscoiated with lymphoma.

I started getting hot flushes (fever and sweating profusely) and itchy lower legs (feet, ankles and lower shins) months ago. I'm now also experiencing fatigue and chest/breast itching that is relentless. I have some small hard lymph nodes under my armpits. 
i am not sure what a swollen node size is?

can someone please post their symptoms on here for lymphoma? I'm wanting real life experiences not a generic cancer web page list of maybes! 
Thanks so much! 

  • Hi Anonssa and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear your doctor thinks you may be displaying some symptoms of lymphoma.

    It's good to hear you've been referred for more tests but I'm sure this must be a rather scary and anxious time.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences with you soon but if you don't hear back straight away (it can get quite busy on the forum at times) then you're welcome to join in on other discussions you find about this when using the 'search forum' option in the purple bar above.

    Wishing you all the best with your referral Anonssa.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
