Brief Answer:
Hello dear. You require evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. I think the suspicion of lymphoma in your case is low as the nodes in Lymphoma are usually, Painless. Moreover we take a node as suspicious if its size is more than 1cm. If the size is more than that you can get a biopsy done. Also you can get a serum LDH test done to make it more clear.
Please revert back with reports.
Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
Hello dear. It may be infected node

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. Itching has nothing to do with lymphomA. Moreover peasize is too small to comment upon. Raised ldh is in favour of lymphoma but a normal. Ldh doesnot rule it out. I think you are worried a lot. Just relax and wait for 15 days. If node increases in size, then go for biopsy.
Thanks and regards

Ok I can feel the lump in my neck but it's pea sized and movable is that normal? I have had bad anxiety aswell so it makes it worse , also the itchiness ive got on my body hands and feet could lymphoma cause this ? Could the LDH blood test rule out lymphoma if it's spread to lymph nodes all over ? Also because I was getting like throbbing pains after drinking alcohol all areas of lymph nodes were throbbing could lymphoma cause this ? thanks , bacause my health anxiety has been so bad that's why im worried I think I spoke to you before glad I got you again ️thanks


Ok I can only feel the lymph node when I press deep in neck is it normal to feel lymph nodes as I think it's maybe always been there ? Im quite slim aswell .. Ok so I shouldn't bother with that blood test LDH ? Also what about the aches pains im getting in areas were lymph nodes are underarms and groin could this mean it has spread to loads of lymph nodes ? Im so scared my family think I have health anxiety and so does all my doctors ive had so many check ups and blood tests but im scared now I have lymphoma and they have missed it what's other symptoms of lymphoma? Do you think I could have this and it's spread and that's why im getting all the aches in those areas and itching
