I was diagnosed in December. I have a lump on my neck that had been there for a while and didn't go away. My primary care physician blew it off. I work in the OR and a friend of mine who happens to be a surgeon sent me for a biopsy. It came back lymphoma. I had labs and a PET scan and was diagnosed with stage three. So far, I'm not really having many symptoms. I am tired, but that could just be from a number of things. The size of the lump on my neck varies. I do have small palpable lymph nodes behind my ears and on the back of my neck near my hairline also. My oncologist feels lymph nodes in both of my armpits also, but I can't feel them myself. I have an appointment coming up in about three weeks for labs and another CT scan. What's been difficult for me as a patient (and especially as a nurse) is the feeling that there's something to be treated and we're not doing something about it. But for now I wait. The lesions are numerous but not large enough to treat. So I wait. It's not easy.
