  • Hi  and welcome to the Community but sorry to read about the concerns you are having.

    Health issues like these can be challenging and stressful. At this early stage you can only work with the medical professionals to find out what is going on, if you are not happy with the support you are receiving from one GP you do need to see another as it often takes another pair of eyes to see things differently.

    Our lymphatic system can react dramatically to illness and our lymph-nodes can rise and fall all the time. Over my life time and even before my NHL diagnosis back in 1999 my Lymph-nodes were reactive as enlarged lymph nodes can be due to infection and other medical problems.

    If anyone research’s your symptoms Dr Google will indeed highlight Lymphoma and this will catch the attention..... but if you look further there are many other medical issues this can point towards.

    I see you have also posted your question to our Nurse Team so let’s see what they say but it is all down to working with your GP to find a way forward.

    Do go back and talk with a GP...... but we are always around to talk further.

    You are not the first or will be the last person to come through the Community asking the same questions..... I am happy to say most people come back saying that the problems was not Lymphoma - let’s look for this to be the case with yourself.

    ((hugs))
