What are the signs that you have lymphoma?

Many: Wight loss, fever, night sweats, new lumps arising in an area that never had them before. Lymphoma can appear anywhere and although it is most commonly seen in lymph nodes(glands) in the neck, groin and under the arms, there are many other possible senariios.

A lot or a few: Most people present after feeling a lump. Some present with weight loss, loss of appetite, unexplained fevers. Some present with unexplained itching of the skin. There are many symptoms depending on where the lymphoma is located. If in the chest, someone may present with a cough. Hope this helps.

Varies.: Some patients, especially with hodgkin lymphoma may present with fevers, night sweats and/or weight loss, but most lymphoma patients do not have these "b" symptoms. Painless lymph node swelling is the most common finding, but many lymphoma patients may have no symptoms at all.

B symptoms: Symptoms can include fever, night-sweats and weight loss for both non-hodgkin's lymphoma and hodgkin's disease. These are referred to as b symptoms and they are used in the staging of lymphoma. Thus a stage iii lymphoma with b symptoms would be given a stage iiib status. Other symptoms are related to pressure from the tumor causing pain, or fatigue.

Lymphoma...: Often, the first sign of lymphoma is a painless swelling in the neck, under an arm, or in the groin. Lymph nodes or tissues elsewhere in the body may also swell. The spleen, for example, often becomes enlarged in lymphoma. Symptoms of lymphoma may include the following: fevers, chills, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, fatigue, and itching.
