When I was admitted into the ER they found a large mass in the left side of my chest. The Doctor's were asking me if I lost weight,
had loss of appetite, night sweats etc... (I either had all the sysmptoms he mentioned or got them about 2 weeks later) ... but I denied them all because I wanted to go home and not get anymore shots.

So anyways, The Doctor's found no reason to keep me there so I went home,
they said they don't think it's anything to panic about because they suspect it's benign or something..., they said if it was malignant the mass is so big I would be dead...

I was wondering what the life span would be for someone 20 years old with Hodkins or Non-Hodkins THX Very Happy

CrescentMoon,

Yes, I agree with the previous statement. You need to have this fully evaluated by your medical team.
