i have a huge lump behind my ear and a couple other smaller solid lumps on my neck. I sweat sometimes at night, itch terribly at night, am always incredibly tired, etc. Can you think of anything else this might be? I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow but I'm wondering you're honest input.

one more thing: i have an acne like rash on both my shoulders and i never get acne on my body!!! Yikes...someone please respond

to be honest i dont know. I have have an enlarged node under ear/corner of left chaw. but i went to doctor and couldnt figure it out. I am going again on monday and going to ask for a specialist. if i were you i would do the same. always safe then sorry

Your symptoms sound like you need to see a specialist. I had all the same symptoms you noted and I did have a large mass. The good news is that it is very treatable and you can be cured if you act soon enough. Good luck and let us know what happens. God Bless

jemezmomma, what kind of lymphoma did u have and where was your mass? Also, did you have HARDENED lymph nodes in your neck that were fixed?

I had Hodgkins lymphoma. Yes, I had a hard lymph node right above my collar bone. I showed to my MD and he said it was probably from an infection and sent me home. I started to have trouble breathing six months later, he treated me for bronchitis. I started to have daily breathing problems especially if I bent to pick something up off the floor. He said it was an allergic reaction. I started to itch and had a rash all over my body. It started on my legs and over the next five months in covered me. I saw five diffrent MD's, I was treated with all kinds of creams. Another lump popped up next to my neck, it was hard and fixed but did not hurt. I started to have night sweats, the MD's said I was premenapausal. I couldn't stay awake anymore just months after that. Two years had passed and I was just worn out. I started to loose four to ten pounds a day. My face and arms swelled until I looked like the Pillsbury dow boy. I saw another MD, I had a tumor nine inches long and four inches wide. It covered my entire heart and lungs and was two inches thick. I was in real trouble. That was two years ago and I am cancer free. God is great. It is scary but very treatable. You can be cured. The only thing I did not do was to make an appointment with an ocologist. Try that. Good luck and God Bless.
