Hi
First time here - can’t quite believe I am here to be honest. Life has been turned upside down in a matter of days.
Diagnosed with Lymphoma. Mass in chest area plus a smaller swollen gland under collar bone. Biopsy taking place on Tuesday to determine specific type.
Also getting additional scans on neck and lower abdomen to determine staging although hoping they find nothing else. Although Consultant did say staging isn’t quite so relevant with Lymphoma?
Symptoms have become worse since diagnosis but wondering if a lot of this is down to the fact I now know what it is and my mind is running riot and anxiety through the roof.
I guess I’m just looking for any advice, positivity, similar accounts?
Many thanks in advance
Sorry, when I press return it posts 
I had pains in my chest so they did an X-ray and then a chest CT scan which indicated enlarged lymph nodes and so I then had an abdomen to pelvis CT which showed the same. I was prescribed two types of antibiotics and an inhaler, signed off for three weeks.
