This is new to me, and the idea of cancer is not really something that has every crossed my mind. It is just lately in the past 6 to 9 months, I have really felt "strange." I say strange as I lack a better word. I have a lump in my lower back the size of an egg, this has been there 6 months. I now also have 2 more smaller ones around it. They developed in the past month... I get a stabbing pain in the same region which radiates through to my back and down my leg. My lymph nodes swell in my groin peridoically, but now I have noticed it in my arm pit as well. Yesterday, I found a lump in my neck and I have a lump on my temple on my face as well. Both seriously itchy but my face more than my neck. My whole body itches horribly at times. I am also exhausted and feel like I am losing weight, constantly get headaches. I stay cold during the day but get night sweats at night, but am living in a country where waiting for a scan the right way is at least 6 months out. Should I be concerned or just wait it out??

What you do is make an appointment with a doctor ASAP!

I did, but here in Ireland, it takes 6 months to get a scan. I am trying to decide whether to just go into to hospital and demand to be seen or not. I don't think they are taking me seriously and I don't know if I should take myself seriously either :( I am American, I just moved here recently before all this started happening :(

Yes, go to the ER. You don't want to wait 6 months. Socialized medicine at its best, huh?
