Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor

Hey guys !

So 4 years ago i was completely cured from HL after getting ABVD treatment every two weeks for 4 months and 2 weeks of radiation to the very specific area that was the right side of the throat and the upper right chest.

In the past two weeks ive been feeling sick with a mild fever (38.3C) Loss of appetite that made me lose weight, strong throat pain, extreme night sweats and constant cough that wont stop with phlegm that sometimes have tiny spots of blood when i had strong cough attacks that the doctor said that i have nothing to worry about.

Now all the symptoms are gone except a little bit of coughing and Loss of Appetite that wont go away..

When the doctor listened to my lungs he said that everything sounds completely fine with no abnormal noises , but when i take a really deep breath or yawn i feel a little bit of pain in the throat and a reflex that makes me cough a little but i barely have phlegm now, but yesterday when i tried to take a really big breath and held it i felt that the pain in the throat wouldnt let me take more air inside my lungs and started coughing really bad and until now i feel a little bit weak with coughing here and there and nausea ..

Im really scared that its something like lung cancer or something , even though i had an X-Ray of my lungs 4 months ago because the doctor thought i had pneumonia byt eventually i had cramped muscle between the ribs and everything was clean in my lungs..

If anyone can tell me what they think i would appreciate it ! Thank you guys !

    Because you are a cancer survivor , if you can afford it you should try that new trend of full body MRI to see if they can find something hidden deep somewhere.
