re: Anyone dealt with Lymphoma?

I had an itch on my ankles. Almost like poison ivy. Fever. And i had large tumors in my chest (mediastinum) it turns out, so was dry coughing uncontrollably without roids and albuterol inhaler. Then drenching night sweats shortly before diagnosis. Like an unbelievable amount of sweat. Bone pain. Turns out i had large lesions in femur. And a tumor in my lung.

In retrospect, it seems insane they took so long to diagnose.

I didn't have any nodes i could feel though. Actually that's not entirely true. I wasn't drinking alcohol during this illness, but then i got the results of my bronchoscopy (another issue--one pulmonologist wanted to crack open my chest for biopsy) on New Year's Eve, had one drink and immediately had sore (often/usually(?) lymphoma nodes aren't sore) nodes under jaw, but those weren't even cancerous. I read that's typical reaction to alcohol.

Eta: this shite sounds scary, but the good news is, I ran and worked out during chemo. Ran a half marathon two weeks out of treatment.
