Hi
For the last week I have been itching excessively all over it is driving me mad. Most of the itching places I can see a small red bump on the skin, I am not itching much on my legs the worst place is my head- behind my ear and worse all over my scalp- cant see any red bumps there.
Today I noticed a hard lump on the bone area behind my ear- it is rock hard and painless. I am convinced it is lymphoma- i have no idea how long the lump has been there.
I went to the doctor and he felt it and agreed it is a swollen lymph node, he also said I had a temperature.
I asked about lymphoma and he didn't rule it out- he said more likely an infection, but is sending me for blood tests and I have to go back in a few weeks if the node is still there or sooner if I feel unwell or it grows!
I am convinced it is lymphoma- a temperature is another symptom of it and so is the itching- those with the hard lymph node surely means it is lymphoma!
I am so scared and now cannot relax! I will have my bloods done tomorrow and wait for results but it has to be lymphoma all symptoms point to it and the doctor could not rule it out!
