How does a 17 yr old male know if he has hodgkins lymohoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By going to a doctor: Unfortunately this is a diagnosis you cannot make on your own. Even an experienced doctor has to rely on a biopsy of the tumor tissue. However, generally a person with hodgkin's lymphoma has a large painless swelling usually in the neck or in the armpit. The person may run fever on and off, may lose weight, and may sweat a lot at night, but he may have none of these symptoms. See a doctor.
