Hi..
I've been feeling unwell now for quite a while with constant headaches and chronic fatigue. Recently my neck became sore and i noticed that my gland was up but i haven't got an infection. I went to the doctors and was put on antibiotics which haven't done anything. I then noticed a pain in my left leg but couldn't determine where the pain was coming from and i recall the doctor telling me to check my groin for swellings and yes, my gland is up there too. I've been having night sweats but no weight loss.
I'm very worried...

Please see a doctor immediately. Prior to being diagnosed the first time around, I ignored the symptoms and when I did see the doctor, I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins, so don't put it off. I am not trying to scare you, but not doing something about it puts you at risk. Get peace of mind and find out what you have so you can have a winning chance at beating whatever it is you have.

My niece had very agressive non-hodgkin's lymphoma and, from what I can tell, she just discovered it after being hit with a baseball on the leg. A knot came up that didn't go away.

She's been through several years of treatment, including a hip replacement where the chemo caused her hip to deteriorate and I honestly don't know how she keeps her spirits up through it all.

I'm wondering if this is how non-hodgkin's is usually discovered? I may be paranoid but I've had a slight swelling under my left calf for years now. However, it doesn't feel like a lump or knot as much as just a swollen area.

Does anyone know if that is suspicious, in terms of cancer?

Thanks for any input
