instance of cancer symptoms

are cancer symptoms (ie fatigue, nausea) intermittent or are they constant and progressive? I've been sick on and off for the past few months. i'm losing sleep, feeling weak, occasionally nauseous, light dry cough, no fever, but every once in a while i'll have a few days where i feel fine and sometimes it's unbearable.

i'm waiting to see a hematologist, but i'd like an idea of what to expect,

thanks =)

other symptoms are night sweats. Make sure you tell the doc everything even if it doesn't sound bad. Check your temp each night also and if you do have fevers keep a record and let the doc know. Good luck. I'm praying for you. Stay Positive.

i just checked some diagrams for self-exam. The lymph nodes under my arms on both sides are a bit swollen and hurt to touch. It seems everything gets worse at night.

I'm glad to hear you're recovering. and thanks  for the advice!

They will check your white blood cell count. The symptoms I had were fatigue, loss of weight. Plus check your Lympnodes.If they do notice something they may do a bone
marrow test. You can check yourself also Lymphnodes you can check are in the neck
under the arms, and in the groin area. The Internet can be be helpful for you to know
exactly where to check. I am no doctor, This is just a suggestion. I have been battling
N.H. Lymphoma now for 3 years. I'm still here so The doctors are doing something right.
