Patients with lymphoma quite often feel quite sick, with fevers, loss of pounds of weight, paleness, loss of appetite. Fortunately lymphoma is not common. Swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck area are common and mean that the lymph nodes are doing their job clearing infection

You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!
