Diagnosis: Part 2 - lumps!

So... the next thing game along in mid-December... I started to find lumps in my armpits - the left bigger than the right, but both fairly noticeable. I can't quite remember if they ached at the time, I don't think so - they definately have since though. At first I was fairly dismissive of them - I knew they were probably something to do with the lymphs (not that I really knew what that meant), and a few quick net-searches suggested they could come up to fight an infection. I'd had a cold, so thought it was probably just that. 

Then just before new year (December 30th to be precise) I noticed lumps on the left side of my neck. It's funny, I never really noticed them growing, they were just there, all of a sudden. They're kinda marble sized, several of them, just under the skin at the base of the neck. That got me worried. Of course, being new year & all, I had to wait until Jan 2nd to go to the GP, but go I did... and then things got started...
