Specializes in Internal Medicine - Oncology

Worry or act: You can worry, or you can take action to protect your health. These symptoms suggest lymphoma, with other possibilities including chronic abscess and tuberculosis. You're going to see a doctor about this sooner or later. Why wait until you have to be carried in? See a doctor now.
