What Are The Symptoms Of Hodgkins Lymphoma?

thought I haven't seen myself, my friend has had bruising and lumps on her lower back for a couple of weeks. She feels very poorly and has discomfort sitting down. She has seen a doctor who told her to come back in a couple of weeks if the symptoms don't go away. My sister in law had non hodgkins lymphoma some years ago and the symptoms sounded similar. I am worried for my friend.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Hodgkins lymphoma is a malignancy of lymphnodes. It usually appears with continuous fever for more than a months with weight loss that is not explained. Patient might develop lumps that are painless in the neck, armpit or groin.

Initially the patient is told to get evaluated clinical with blood test and then detailed evaluation might be required. Her doctor is probably considering differential diagnosis and therefore has asked to wait for two weeks. Please tell her to eat well and look for any lumps in other places. Please tell her to keep note of fever and weight loss. Please do not worry.
