Lymphoma - any experience?

DP has extreme health anxiety and after self diagnosing himself with a variety of cancers, he's now stuck on lymphoma.

His symptoms are - pain and tenderness under the arm pit.
Itching (all over).
Slight periodic swelling of the lymph-nodes in the armpit, neck and groin (all down one side).

Now the reality of it is that no doctor he's been to can feel or see this swelling - only he is aware of it. He's had the bloodtest which specifically checks for lymphoma symtoms and that all came back clear.
So yesterday he went for an untrasound scan of the armpit. I didn't go with him this time but apparantly the doctor confirmed that there is SLIGHT swelling but not enough to concern him. However he'd sent him for a CT scan just to confirm.

As I say, I've had three years of this constant obsession with cancer. I feel like I'm going mad with it all. For anyone with experience/knowledge of lymphoma, does this sound like a potential diagnoses??

Afternoon all. And hi OP. We hope you don't mind but since your DP hasn't been diagnosed and you sound unsure that he will be, we're going to move this thread over to General Health for the time being. We think you'll probably get more responses there and we wouldn't want to upset anyone who is on this board because they or a loved one are facing a very difficult time. We hope your DP gets everything sorted and that everything is indeed ok. Please feel free to post here again if you find you have need to - we sincerely hope that won't be the case. Best wishes.
