Last year I started losing weight without trying (lost 8kg in total over a 6 wk period) and started feeling really lousy, like I had the 'flu but without the sore throat. I was tired all the time too and my back and neck were aching. The doc noticed some enlarged lymph nodes in my neck, which I hadn't even noticed myself. I had an ultrasound and was diagnosed with 'cervical lymphadenopathy'. There were also some slightly larger nodes in my left armpit. As I had breast cancer 11 years previously when I was 25, it was first thought it had returned and I was sent off for tests, including blood tests, all came back 'normal'. I was then tested for every other viral/bacterial/infectious disease and again, all tests were negative. Then I started having dizzy spells and heart palpitations. That was Nov/Dec. It's now March and the nodes have gotten bigger and now there's a hard lump in the nodes in my groin. What is going on? My sister had Hodgkins when she was 21 - could it be that?
