I am new to this board, i hope i am posting in the right place?? I will start out by saying, i have not been diagnosed with leukemia or lymphoma, but i sure am scared by symptoms that i have been having!!? With that said, i am hoping that you guy's could help me out.
?
Although, i have not been diagnosed w/ leukemia or lymphoma, i am a cancer survivor of 2 years.? After repeat attempts at IVF for fertility issues, my hormone levels kind of went a bit crazy leading me by surprise to uterine cancer.? That diagnosis is a story all in it's own, but i will say that unfortunately the surgeon doing my surgery failed to take lymph nodes, even though i had a rather large tumor 10x5 cm for that type of malignancy. My oncologist has told me all along, that puts me at a signficant risk for recurrance.?
?
This is where i am hoping for some help, for some time now i have been bruising on both legs for no reason at all, it is constant.? I have an enlarged lymph node under my jaw on the left side of neck (submandibular lymph node) since early may.? I went to my PCP with that and she did the practical protocol of antibiotics, i did 2 rounds with no change, and i never felt as if i had any type of infection anyways.? I had a CT, that revealed the lymph node to be enlarged along with the gland beside it.? My PCP, said she would monitor it, but i really thought that i should have it biopsied given my history, and i have read that, you really don't know anything unless biopsied, i went along, but giving some thought, i don't believe she is too familiar with any of this.? This lymph node is still as prevalent as it was the day i discovered it and feels very firm and attached, and painless.? I have now discovered a lump, on my left leg above knee on back of thigh, that is also painless.? So as you can imagine, the concern is getting worse.? I am also finding myself going from feeling a normal temperature to all out sweating on a daily basis, it comes and goes, comes and goes.? I also have intermittent left side back pain in the cervical back area (upper back) that i have been having for a year now, no idea if that is related.? I know, i should have went straight to my oncologist with all this back in early May, but decided instead to go to PCP, i don't even really have a reason why i chose to go that route, and have been told by various people to run to the oncologist and don't stop or look back!!? Just as a side note, back when, i was diagnosed with the uterine cancer, i had received 11 blood transfusions, prior too.? I don't know if that means anything.
?
So, i am hoping for information/advice, i truly appreciate anything that you can share with me.? I feel as if, i have dropped the ball on this and am letting too much time slip by, feeling very insecure. Thank's so much for any help!!!
