A member asked:

I've swollen lymph nodes in neck & groin , night sweats , painful spleen - very heavy painful periods awaiting blood results.am 37 is cancer likely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Persistent lymph nodes can always be associated with lymphoma. A painful spleen suggesting rapid enlargement especially when associated with night sweats can also be a sign of lymphoma. Node biopsy is essential. Heavy periods are probably unrelated.
