Does A Painful Growing Lump Require Immediate Attention When Diagnosed With Lymphoma?

I have preliminary diagnosis of lymphoma. Awaiting results of biopsy of large lump in groin. Hemstologist wont see me until results come so my appointment is not for another ten days. I m the meantime symptoms are multiplying--lump is lsrger, I m feeling pa in in srmpit, numbness in fingrrtips, and fatigue. Can I afford to wait ten days o r should I insist he see me sooner and start whatever further tests he s going to do anywa y?
