Symptoms of HODGKIN'S DISEASE
The hallmark of this disease is painless lumps that develop in the armpit, neck and groin. The lumps, or enlarged lymph nodes, are firm and rubbery. Intermittent fevers and night sweats occur. Loss of appetite and weight loss develop. Fatigue and a general ill feeling develops. Anemia, jaundice and bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract may occur. These changes can produce shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, pallor, and black, tarry stools.
