Educating myself just incase

I have always been the type of person who looks up everything medically on the internet or in books.  When I was 16 and had mono and a cyst on my ovary I looked up every little thing.  It became so bad that my mother threw away all my medical books I took from the library. 

Well moments ago I built up the courage to look up the symptoms of lymphnoma.  I wasn't going to because I am thinking positive, but I have gto see for myself what I may be up against.  So far I have only looked at the symptoms and it doesn't look good. 

On the website, http://www.lymphomainfo.net/lymphoma/symptoms.html, I read the following.

Lymphoma is not difficult to diagnose once a patient and doctor begin to look for signs of cancer. However, Lymphoma–especially non-Hodgkin lymphoma–can be something of a silent killer. Symptoms are frequently minor or nonexistent in the early stages. Furthermore, lymphoma symptoms mimic symptoms of common sickness that are familiar and not necessarily threatening to most patients.
Lymphoma symptoms are not specific to the disease. For this reason, it is very important that you tell your doctor during regular checkups about any symptoms that you might be experiencing. They include (below are the symtoms I noticed I have):

- Swollen lymph nodes - Lymphoma may cause swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, chest, abdomen and on the skin. (Have one on my neck for a year.  ENT doctor said it was nothing because I was having sinus infections.  Keep reading it gets better.) Lymph nodes in the neck frequently swell in cases of sinus infection or can be symptomatic of the flu. But if they persist for a long time or occur apart from other sickness they might be cause for concern.

 

 - Unexplained weight loss - Sudden and unexpected weight loss of 10% or more of total body weight could be a cause for concern. (I am on spirolactone for my acne and poly cystic ovary syndrome which causes weight loss.  I have lost 20lbs in two years but I have noticed more weight being lost in the past couple of months)

 

- Night sweats - These will usually occur in conjunction with a fever. (But I have no fever, however I have been sweating more in my sleep then usual.  I wake up like I peed on myself and my legs are completely soaked)

 

 - Fatigue / Lack of energy - Again, this can be related to many things but in combination with other symptoms might be significant (Thought it was work related)

 

- Lower back pain - Obviously, most back pain occurs for reasons apart from lymphoma. However, expanding lymph nodes may press on nerves and cause lower back pain. This type of pain should be considered in the presence of other symptoms. (This is how it all started)

I am afraid to read more, but something is telling me I should.
