I need some advice, about a year and a half ago I noticed a swollen node in my leg, went to dr and he said not to worry. I then started having nights sweats and occasional fever and more swollen nodes in my armpit. I went back to the doctor and he sent me to a surgeon for a biopsy. The biopsy report came back as possible hodgkins, had node sent to md anderson and they said it was paricortical follicular hyperplasia. During this time I had a ct done and the report came back finding a "nodule" on the base of my lung. My doctor said not to worry about it because it was small and that it was probably just a vein. I had a second biopsy done at the suggestion of my dr and the report came back the same. The fever and night sweats stopped after about 4 months although i still itch but not intensely. Last month I noticed three swollen nodes in my lower back towards the left side, I also started having upper abdominal and upper back pain. My doctor said its probably an ulcer and the nodes are swollen due to a "pain response." I still have the swollen nodes in my legs although they have not gotten bigger and some in my neck which are small. My doctor felt the one under my jawbone and said it was swollen but not to worry. Should I get a second opinion or just except the fact that maybe I'm just lumpy. Sorry this is so long. Any input would be great
