Discussion of diagnosis/misdiagnosis of Hodgkin's Disease:
When symptoms like these occur, they are not sure signs of
Hodgkin's disease. In most cases, they are actually caused by
other, less serious conditions, such as the flu. When symptoms
like these persist, however, it is important to see a doctor
so that any illness can be diagnosed and treated. Only a
doctor can make a diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease. Do
not wait to feel pain; early Hodgkin's disease may not
cause pain. (Source: excerpt from What You Need To Know About Hodgkin's Disease: NCI)
