I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in February of 2007. My symptoms were:
a rash that covered almost my entire body, *they say it is part of the Hodgkin, but of course doesn't happen to everyone.*
swollen lymphnodes- I discovered mine back in 2006 when i was about 5 months pregnant. It started with one on the right side, and then about a month later I found one about the same size on the left side of my neck. I was on a steroid for basically my entire pregnancy. it turned out that the steroid helped to suppress the pain that i would typically be feeling. You do you hurt at all??? Once they took me off of the steroid my entire neck swelled up, it felt as if I had pulled every muscle in my neck. i could hardly even move it.
Night Sweats- I didn't get the night sweats until i was taken off of the steroid, but let me tell you what, I would wake up completely soaked, the bed would actually be wet. I never got them if I took a nap during the day, just at night when i was attempting to sleep all night.
weak/ tiredness- I was a new mom, just had my daughter about 6 weeks before i was diagnosed, so i thought what i was feeling was normal. I now know differently.
I wish you the best of luck with your biopsy! If they are just taking it from your neck you won't be in much pain at all!!!! I will be sure to keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and be sure to let us know your results!! i hope I helped you a little!!!
have a wonderful day!!!
God Bless!
