Hi all. I am new here and I wanted to ask a couple questions.

For about a year now, I have had several lymph nodes that are palpable in my groin area. I always thought I could feel them because I am thin. However, about 6 months ago, I started having these HORRIBLE night sweats. I just joked about it and said that I was going through "menopause." (Even though I am a 21 y.o. and male.) Then, about two weeks ago, I noticed a small, hard mass in my scrotum. It's not on a testicle, but is very deep. So, I made an appointment to see my doctor.

I have since come across all of this information on Hodgkin's Disease. I have a tendency to say, "OH MAN! I have this!" So, I don't know if I am over-reacting or if I should worry a little. Someone help if you can! Thanks!

Hi there.. i was just diagnosed with HL stage IIIB.. and for the longest time i used other excuses besides having cancer..

the best advice to give you is to see your doctor right away and get checked out for it because night sweats is one of the main symptoms of HL.. i wish you luck!
