hard lump in groin-slight night sweats
by matt102694, Oct 12, 2009 08:29AM
hi, my name is matt im 15 years
about 3 months ago i started to notice swollen lymph nodes in my neck, i remember just 2 at first but them many more came pretty fast. at first i didnt know what they were untill about 3 weeks ago when i looked it up and found it could be a sign of lymphoma. i went to my doctors they took some blood work but all of it came back good. im still worried about it since it has not gone away. i do have some pimples on my forehead and thats what my doctor thought it was but i dont think that at all.
i also have been getting very slight night sweats where i get a little damp on the back of my neck and on my groin area but not drenched.
then last weekend i noticed hard lumps, what i think to be swollen lymph nodes in my groin. i dont think they have gotton bigger and i noticed they came all of a sudden, they are on both sides, decently hard, and i can barely move them, unlike the ones in my neck i can move they freely and easily. i do have a staph infection but its almost gone and the swollen lymph nodes in my groin were no there when the infection first came. i also dont understand why they would be hard like this
i keep asking my parents to take me to the doctor but they refise to because they say if somthing wrong that it would have shown up in my blood work. They also think since they dont hurt nothing wrong when its actually quite the opposite.
so anyways i just wanted to see what u guys thought, do u think its the staph and the pimples or do u think its somthing more severe. i pretty much convinced myself i have lymphoma and since my parents are complete idiots i dont know what i should do!!! please help

Theres a web site that may help. www.tccancer.com see what they say, really great people there to answer your questions.
thanks though
Tc dosn't always present itself as you would think. (my boyfriend found out the hard way) Anyway I suggested that site because there are people there that have experience in other areas also. Hope everythings good.
Was your son diagnosed with lymphoma? My boyfriend had symptoms we didn't understand also. Pain, night sweats, fatigue we definitely learned if its something new that doesn't make sense get it checked out. Stay strong. Today stage 4 cancer can be beat, I hope your son is doing well.
I'm sorry to hear about everything your going through. Have you tried the Livestrong Foundation? I know there's a phone number where they can direct you to help in your area ( financial etc.) I found a number on their site, I'm not sure if its the one you need but if you explain your situation I'm sure they can direct you. Its just not acceptable to need 25% of the cost before they treat your son, I know if you talk to the billing dept at your local hospital they can always work something out. Hang in there. The information for Livestrong is below.
