Hello all,

how long did it take from going to the doctors to being diagnosed? I've finally been sent to the haematologist for possible lymphoma. I have 2 swellings in my arm pit that get bigger and small but never go. They have now settled but are huge. It's been  10 weeks they have been here for. When I saw the specialist they didn't seem bothered and wasn't sure they were lymph nodes (she thinks they are spots!) they are about the size of 20p and a £2 coin. She has sent me for a ct a week ago but haven't heard anything back. I have all the other symptoms other that itching. I'm just feeling a little frustrated. She said she "might" send me for a biopsy. Obviously this is really stressful and I'm struggling in understanding why whole process. 
just any words of advice or a chat with people with similar stories.

thank you x
