Anyone dealt with Lymphoma?
Posted on 9/7/21 at 4:34 pm

Not necessarily the hypochondriac type, but I’ve been dealing with health symptoms over the past few months and from what I’m reading, this seems to mimic early stages of Lymphoma.
I’ve had a persistent itch for the past year. Arms, body, etc. I’ve dealt with allergies forever, so just chalked it up to that. Taking an antihistamine daily to combat it, but it hasn’t gone away. A couple instances of night sweats as well but nothing regularly. A week or so ago I developed a grape-sized lymph node on the right side of my jawline and this has made me pretty uneasy. Other than minor fatigue, I feel fine. No weight loss, appetite is good, etc. I should’ve stayed the frick off of WebMD because I’m starting to panic. Going to see my doctor tomorrow.
Any words of wisdom here?

There are tests that can figure out what is wrong with you

I doubt very, very seriously you have lymphoma. Could be any number of minor causes

I typed your symptoms into the thing up here and it says you could have network connectivity problems
try not to panic though... easier said than done, but hopefully tomorrow your doc will give you some peace of mind

Try to get a good nights sleep.

I’ve had these at least the size of grapes every time I get a sore throat or fight off any kind of sinus infection …for over 30 years now. That’s just how some of us respond to infections.

Stop trying to self diagnose using the internet.

I have a family member dealing with something similar. Based on their experience I'll say that if you're having night sweats and you've developed a lump, then I'd go see a doctor as soon as possible.
Similar to you they felt fine, but started developing frequent night sweats and then it started with a lump on their head. May be nothing, but if it is than getting to it early seems to be key.

I did almost the exact thing you are doing, 20 years ago. Went to the doc, he felt the lymph node under my jaw, looked me dead in the eyes and told me no cancer. I’ve been fine ever since.
Go see a doc and get some medical marijuana to chill baw.

Get to a doctor. Don't wait for it to get better. Time could make it worse.

Sounds like you either got the Rona or AIDS

Geez, go see a doctor and stop diagnosing yourself. You have no clue and nothing you said seems deeply concerning other than you being paranoid. Stop googling your symptoms.
The lumps could be cysts, the rest could be dry skin or other nutrients lacking in your diet.

Sarcoidosis can mimic lymphoma even on pet scans. Something you need to discuss with a doctor.

Go to doctor immediately and press and go to more doctors until you get a diagnosis. Go to a blood cancer specialist.
I was sick for almost four months, literally dying, and went through 5 doctors, and a bunch of useless Rxes before being diagnosed with stage iv Hodgkins.
I finished my 6-month chemo course over four years ago. It sucked but way better than being sick and dying. Don't wait another day. And get second, third and fourth opinions. I can't tell you the BS i went through just to diagnose a well/long-known disease.

Does it move?
If you can roll it around under the skin usually fine.
If not, it could be a tooth infection.

Get that lump biopsied ASAP. Not to scare you, but your symptoms are identical to mine. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's 17 years ago.
If you have to get cancer, it's a good one. They have the protocol down. I had 6 months of chemo and been fine ever since. The ABDV regimen wasn't fun, but not as bad as most.

Just get the vaccine. I hear it apparently solves everything.

OK to worry. Not OK to avoid seeing doctor. You need real doctor answers, not WebMD. Use some of those smarts all Ole Miss people claim to have and get your butt to the doctor.
