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.
