4. Fever and Chills
Those who suffer from lymphoma may feel as if their thermostat is out of whack. There may be fever during the day and particularly the night followed by chills. Fever is often accompanied by infection, but can also be the result of tumor growth.
Lymphoma in particular can cause fevers that come and go followed by chills. Night sweats are also characteristic of lymphoma. In some cases, these can be severe and can lead to the sheets becoming drenched. Doctors are still not sure what it is about lymphoma in particular that leads to a rising in body temperature and symptoms such as fever and night sweats.
Those who suffer from this symptom can benefit from cold compresses and extra blankets when you experience the chills. Keep an ice pack and blankets by the bed when you experience fluctuations in temperature.
