Worried about blood cancer

I'm experiencing a recurring and evolving set of symptoms over the past several months. Your presentation includes recurrent sore throats (every 2-3 weeks, for 2-3 months), often accompanied by a feverish feeling and sometimes a low-grade fever (e.g., 99.6°F), have an enlarged tonsil with occasional deeply embedded tonsil stones, and a single neck lymph node that fluctuates in size with your sore throats, never fully resolving. I have ongoing joint pain for three months, affecting multiple joints (primarily the right knee, sometimes the left knee and pelvic region) without visible swelling or redness, mostly occurring in the evening and at night, and recurring after resolving for a day or more. I also have occasional involuntary jerks in  limbs and back, a sensation of suppressing a jerk, moments of numbness in affected areas, and intermittent dizziness (especially when lying down). also have tiny, red, thread-like or wavy blood vessels appearing randomly under the skin here and there

I read your history and symptoms. With that alone, we cannot discuss probability of haematological malignancy. Since you have recurrent episodes, I guess you would have been evaluated with blood investigations already. Like CBC creat LFTuric acid , Electrolytes Na K and also serum calcium, LDH. Also a chest X ray and ultrasound of neck would have been done since you mention that you have a neck node. Your ENT doctor would have examined your throat and described the findings also . Peripheral blood smear report also will help. After seeing these, we can plan further evaluation.
Next Steps
CBC creat calciumuric acid LDH peripheral smear
