I know i have been asking alot of questions and most of you are probably thinking I am crazy, but I just wanted to ask the severity of night sweats experienced by Lymphoma...I know there are not always night sweats, but how severe are your sweats if you have had them...I am just wondering because I every now and then get some night sweats, but always just damp hair or somthing, never the chest body etc...I should say I see nothing of my shirts or anything like that..It is usually after I take NyQuil or put on some Ben Gay to relieve muslce pain...it only happens now and then...thoughts?

Anxiety related? I do see nor feel any nodes in the body that are swollen so that is a good sign, just thought I would ask the question...

Drenching, sheet soaking sweats.
as if someone poured water over you while sleeping. you'd have to change your clothes and your linens in order to go back to sleep.
that's what I've heard from patients with lymphoma.

Thanks for the reply, as always it is greatly appreciated!

I wish you the best Ash and hope that you don't forget to come back to let us know how everything went.

I second that. I can understand your anxiety and hope you will get answers soon to put your mind at rest. Not knowing is always worse than knowing what, if anything, is wrong. But please let us know how things go. We are always concerned about people who post on this board and there is nothing more worrying than someone posting often and then not letting us know the outcome. I know you will not do that to us, Ash!!

Try to do things you enjoy while you wait the results of your biopsy. Keep as busy as you can to keep your mind occupied with pleasant thoughts. Watch a good film or read a good book. It will help to pass the time more quickly. We all know how difficult waiting for results can be and how every little ache or pain becomes a perceived symptom but worrying too much can be really destructive. And so often, when the results are in, we say "Now why did I worry so much about that when I had no need to worry at all?"!!

Love and prayers,

All of your words are so kind, you all will stay with me forever...I will definately be keeping in touch with all of you as the process moves forward...tomorrow morning I have to be at the hospital at 7AM to drink the contrast, procedure at 8:30 and then 2 hours before they let me go...and then the waiting game begins to see whether they got enough tissue and what this tissue is, as much as I try to convince myself everything is good, I am still convinced that I have cancer...
