What are the typical symptoms of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma?
The first and most common sign is often a painless swelling of the lymph nodes either in the neck, arm pit or groin. However lymph nodes can be enlarged for reasons other than cancer. Other symptoms include night sweats, weight loss, unexplained high temperatures and fatigue. If the disease has spread from the lymph nodes to other organs, other symptoms will appear. For example if the cancer has spread to the stomach, the patient will experience nausea, vomiting or stomach pain. Whereas if the cancer has spread to the brain, symptoms might include headache, vision changes or seizures. These symptoms could be signs of conditions other than cancer. It is important to realize that only your physician can make a diagnosis.
