Neck Lump....Possible Lymphoma?


Question:
2 weeks ago I found a lump on the right side of my neck about the size of a jelly bean with a smaller lump right below it . Earlier in the week I found a smaller one on my left side. My other symptoms are as follows:

Flank pain on my left side of my abdomen that radiates to my back and sometimes down my left leg that comes and goes.

Itching of my legs for 10 years that flare up from time to time. Rash behind knees and behind thighs (Doc said it was ezcema).

Weight loss-18lbs in 6 months. (Usually only way 120lbs)

I had blood work everything this was normal. I was told I was anemic and my red blood cells count was a little on the low end.

Went for chest x-ray and u/s and will get results next week. I have a feeling that they will be normal as well. I'm goin to ask for a biopsy. Has anyone had these symptoms? If so what was the diagnosis?

Answers:
I was just diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma stage II A. It's a relatively early stage and hopefully everything will be okay. The reason it's is classified as A is cuz I didn't have any symptoms.Weightloss (which i coulda used-haha), fever, fatigue, itchy skin, nausea are all symptoms of lymphoma. The pain can be explained perhaps by a nerve being pressed down cuz of the lumps. That's just what I know about Lymphoma.
On the other hand, I know 2 people who work with me who had lumps in their necks as well and both of their biopsies were negative for lymphoma. There is a better chance that all you have are cysts but there's no harm in double checking. I'm glad you got those tests done and getting a biopsy done is also a great idea. :-)
It could well be a Begnine Cyst!
