Hello. I am a 49 yr old female; currently 2 years in remission w NHL.( neck area & chest)

I recently found a lump on the back of my knee. Its red and slightly tender to the touch. I have had some recent night sweats, more tired than usual and some unusual stomach pains. Any cause for alarm or can I wait a few months for my next check up at Fox Chase? Thank you
