Frequently Asked Questions

What are the symptoms of lymphoma cancer?

The symptoms of lymphoma cancer can be subtle and easily mistaken for other issues. Symptoms include:

  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Skin itching
  • Stomach pain
  • Itchy rash
  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Fatigue
  • Bone pain
  • Shortness of breath.

Because these symptoms can be experienced frequently, they’re often missed as signs of lymphoma cancer. It’s a medical professional’s responsibility to be aware that they’re a possible sign of lymphoma cancer.

If you’ve been failed by a medical professional, contact us to see if you can make a claim.

What can lymphoma cancer be misdiagnosed as?

Because the symptoms of lymphoma cancer are so common in day-to-day life, it can often be misdiagnosed.

Lymphoma cancer can be misdiagnosed as:

  • Influenza
  • Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Cat scratch fever
  • HIV
  • Infections
  • Mononucleosis.

This isn’t a complete list, if your lymphoma cancer was misdiagnosed as something not on the list, you could still claim compensation. Contact us to see if you can make a claim.

What’s the difference between Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma?

There are some key differences between Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These include:

  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more common, though both are relatively rare.
  • Most non-Hodgkin patients are over the age of 55 when first diagnosed, compared to an average age of 39 for Hodgkin lymphoma cancer.
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma may arise in lymph nodes anywhere in the body. Hodgkin lymphoma typically starts in the upper body, such as the neck, chest, or armpits.
  • Hodgkin lymphoma tends to progress in a more predictable way than non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This makes it easier to recognise and treat.
