Indolent lymphoma in a 20 year old??

Hi there I've asked a question here before about my worries with lymphoma. Basically since December of 2015 I have been able to feel quite a few lymph glands under my left armpit. I can feel about 4. Since I first found them they have never grown in size or changed and I kinda feel like they appeared over night. I only felt them because there was a pain under that armpit so when I felt around that's when they came to my notice. So as I said theyve never grown in size. I've been to my doctor and let him feel them but he said they didn't feel worrisome to him and that I should move on. For the most part I have but I can always still feel them and I have a multitude of symptoms that appear sometimes like occasionally having a really bad night sweat where I'm really drenched in sweat but when this does happen and I awake I'm always fully under my cover so almost no heat is escaping. And also this is an occasional thing I dont have these night sweats happening reccuringly. Another thing is that I sometimes get itchy but I more feel that happens when I'm thinking about being itchy so I can't help it. There's times where I've been ridiculously run down lately almost feel anemic and I'm run out of breath when I'm not even exerting myself. I do have a problem where I'm celiac though so I can never tell if it's just that because having celiac is a daily struggle anyway! I may have been told on this that my nodes under my armpit would have grown over time but then I've read about indolent lymphomas or something and how they can take time to start causing troubles but I haven't really seen any cases of this type in someone of my age. I'll ask again, since it's been a year and a half since these nodes appeared and since they've not grown would that suggest something else? I've had pains and burning sensations on the left side of my body since I was 18 so could be reactive to this? And also has anyone heard of someone having an indolent lymphoma in a 20 year old boy?
