You have to trust your doctor on this one to be honest as they have examined them and we can't obviously.

They can take some time to go down though

Thanks for reply I check them 15 times or more a day he said one was a lymphnode but was in normal range all the bloods came back clear so why do I feel poorly and tired

Would a full blood count indicate lymphoma was present I've been told it would as it's a blood cancer .. Also would my dOctor not tell me the extent of my results to save my worry like if something was slightly high he decided not to say to save me worrying again I've been told its more than his jOb is worth to miss something

Hi

I think the other comment was right...the doctor is the one to trust here.

My son is shortly going to have some investigations because they have found he had swollen glands and she said other swollen lypth nodes in his neck. He has night sweats, large tonsils, and glue ear currently.

She said they were going to do blood tests.
CT neck scan
Maybe chest xray

I think the blood tests are to see if you have any underlying issues such as an atuoimmune problem.

You have had the blood tests which show as ok....so I'm sure they are not concerned that it can be lymphoma if they havnt said to do any further tests.

Have you had a virus's recently...if you body is feeling run down from something like that it could be the cause....

I reckon you'll be fine

I am covered in lumps. It's called multi lipoma. They are totally harmless but it didn't stop me worrying.

My ex husband has lymphoma cancer. If they thought there was even a slight chance you had it they would not just let you go. You are tired because you are worrying a lot.
