Lymphoma symptoms? neck/collarbone gland, abdominal pain

Hi,

I am due to see a specialist at hospital. I had a gland come up behind my ear a few weeks back. GP took bloods-  no problems. I've since found another gland above my right collarbone. Both pea sized. Rubbery, moves about easily, painless. I have seen lots of posts about the vaccine creating raised glands so that gave me some hope. 

But for the last two weeks I've had a dull pain in my lower left abdomen. And now in the last couple of days I have a sore spot on my left hand rib. It hurts to press but I don't remember banging that area. 

As with most people on these forums, I have never been so frightened in my entire life. I am petrified I have lymphoma. 

I would appreciate hearing from anyone in a similar situation so we could provide each other with support. Also, if anyone has experience of the lymphoma test process or lymphoma itself, I would also like to hear your experiences.

Thank you,

Danielle

    Hopefully some of our members who have contended with similar symptoms or have experience of lymphoma will be along soon to offer their support and advice but in the meantime I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and wish you all the best with your upcoming hospital appointment.

    I hope it goes well and the specialist is able to put your mind at ease.

    All the best,
