The most common symptom of non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma is a painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm,
or groin.
Other symptoms may
include the following:
Unexplained fever
- Night sweats
- Constant fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Itchy skin
- Reddened patches on the skin
When symptoms like these occur, they are
not sure signs of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They may also be caused
by other, less serious conditions, such as the flu or other infections.
Only a doctor can make a diagnosis. When symptoms are present, it
is important to see a doctor so that any illness can be diagnosed
and treated as early as possible. Do not wait to feel pain; early
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may not cause pain.
