i am losing weight uncontrolably, even though i eat a lot!! and its freaking me out, friends and family have also noticed it and i don't know what to do, a friend was getting into conclusions that i might have a tumor in my lymph nodes!!


Answers:

There are several ways to know what is wrong with you...
You are afraid of a lymphona (gerelly after age 25 the type the most people fear, is a non Hodgkin Lymphoma)....dont jump to conclusion....a Lymphoma generally invadesthe cervical ir ganglia (nodes) in both or one groin, neck and under the armpits...
Unexplained fever, esècially at nights, sweating (makes your pillow to appear wet in the mornings)....loss of apetite (does not apply to your case),,,,pruritus, and pain of the ganglia with drinking alcohol....
You need a workup starting with complete blood cell count, plasma Lactic Hehysrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, and peripheral blood smear.,...
lack of apetite and loss of weight (believe it or not) are NOT frequent or daily seen signs of tumors..
Think of simpler things fisrt..
You will do fine
