Lymphoma Signs & Symptoms

There are over 80 different types of lymphoma. Lymphomas can be slow growing and can develop over many months to years before you experience symptoms. Some symptoms may also develop over a short period of time; days to weeks. Some people may not have any symptoms and are diagnosed accidentally when having a scan for another medical condition.
There are many symptoms that can be associated with lymphoma. Lymphomas can start almost anywhere in the body. The symptom can depend on the type of lymphoma and where it is in the body.
Because symptoms of lymphoma can often be vague or general, it can sometimes be difficult to diagnose.
Most common symptoms include:
🔹 Swollen lymph nodes
🔹 Fatigue
🔹 Unexplained weight loss
🔹 Night sweats
🔹 Unexplained persistent fevers
🔹 A cough that doesn't go away
🔹 Itchy body
🔹 Difficulty getting over infections
🔹 Pain when ingesting alcohol
Recently completing her own treatment for hodgkin lymphoma, Shelley explains more in this video.
"I went from being in the best shape of my life to battling cancer in just a few months.
I never had any standout symptoms, just an intuition that I didn’t feel 'right'."

My youngest brother shared his diagnosis with us yesterday. Although he is keeping a positive attitude, I know he’s scared. Fortunately I believe the doctors found it early. His wife is nervous too, but it’s my job to help them stay strong and have Faith that he will be okay. What treatments did you go through, if you don’t mind me asking. I wish you well. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for sharing! I have 3 lymph nodes swollen, Alcohol pain after 1 sip I get this burn and pain, but not just a lymph nodes, it goes to my neck, abdomen and low back. I have itchy feet at night-restless leg ? My PCP keeps telling me it's ok. So it's hard to find someone who just has/had the lymph node only sx. Thanks for sharing
