My lymph nodes have been swollen in my groin, armpits, under my chin, and on my cheeks, for at least 4 years now, I think. Then about a week ago I got an odd pimple where my head meets my neck. After I had my girlfriend pop it, I noticed there was a large, hard bump there a couple days later. It's at about ear level, on the left side of my vertebrae. Now I'm worried about lymphoma. Also:
*I had pneumonia about 6 years ago.
*My family has a history of skin cancer, and in the past few months some of my moles have begun itching.
*I'm always tired and can rarely concentrate enough to do coursework reading.
*I started to become more depressed following my pneumonia... and I am now on antidepressants, which aren't really helping that much.


I'll go in to see the doctor on campus here, but that will take at least two weeks. I'm wondering if I should see an off-campus doctor (costs more) sooner, or what else I should look for.

I would not take chances with your health. If you are really concerned, you should see a doctor immediately.
