Neck And Shoulder Pain Followed By Lump Under Earlobe, Weight Loss And Fatigue, Worsening. Lymphoma ?

L
ast year towards the end of the year I started having a lot of neck pain and shoulder pain. Since then I have had a lot I went to the doctor in July with the symptoms of lump under left ear lobe , pulling in the left side of neck up behind left ear, weightloss, fatigue and itching all over and voice change off and on. Plus my hearing has been off in that ear I feel like I am talking very loud. The doctor did an MRI of brain and a cat scan of my chest he said it all came out negative and he did no blood work. He told me it was all stress. Now I still have all the symptoms and they seem to be getting worse. My voice has been hoarse now for 7 days and I feel a lot of pressure on the left side of my neck. My fear is lymphoma all the symptoms seem to be there and Im not sure what to do to get a doctor to listen. I am feeling worse everyday and its getting harder and harder to get up in the morning due to fatigue. Please if you have any insight to these issues I am having I would really like to hear what you have to say. I am desperate for answers......

Hi!
welcome to HCM!
I honestly DONT feel that you are having lymphoma.Chest and brain have no pathology as the MRI and CT have been done.
Lump under left ear lobe seems to be significant and Must be investigated by FNAC it can be a parotid tumour (most parotid tumours are benign so dont worry) or a lymph node.
My advice is get yourself examined by ENT specialist ,get a FNAC,blood counts and peripheral smear done.
dont worry take care!
