hard lump in groin-slight night sweats
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

didnt relize i wrote about the blood work in my post...but i really have not been having night sweats anymore and i have no fever so again my parents don't feel theres anything wrong. im trying to convince my parents to bring me again but i dont think there ganna do anything
well i just had blood wok done and everything came back OK and my doctor or parents are not concerned about it at all but i still think there is something wrong. I want to go to another doctor but my parents think im fine and its a waste of money that we don't have...so im kind of in a pickle here...i mean does blood work always show it or is it innacurate?
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.

yes it is lyphoma he is off treatment now but they are giving the cancer time to grow it did not kill it all so they are not sure what they are going to do next they are thinking stem cell transplant but my insurance does not cover that and they want 25% down befor they will do it so we just dont know anything right now
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.
My son has cancer and he had all the symptoms you just described. I didnt even think anything was wrong but one of his lymphnodes got alot bigger than the other ones so I brought him to the doctor and they did a chest xray and refered him to an oncologist next they i know hes getting chemo becouse we ignored the swollen lyphnodes and the night sweats and low grade fevers he was at stage 4 They never did a blood test They NEED A BIOPSY of it
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.
im pretty sure i dont have testicular cancer but ill check it out lol
thanks though
