Suspected lymphoma

Hello, 

I am 19 years old and I am due to see oncology in January for generalised lymphodpethy, significant weight loss, nausea, raised immunoglobulins, Anemia, sweats, autonomic dysfunction, constipation, heavy bleeding, no sign of infection present. 
 
the heamotology suspects I have lymphoma so directly referred me to oncology. 
the question is: 

I have the autoimmune/auto inflammatory condition psoriasis, since I became unwell at start of 2020 with EBV into mono and having secondary infections which has now developed into suspected lymphoma my psoriasis has completely disappeared has anyone else experienced this? It's like my immune system is distracted from normally attacking my healthy cells?

    Hello Midnight_owl10, 

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope that your appointment in January goes well and that you won't have to wait too long to be seen and that you get a definite diagnosis soon. It's remarkable that your psoriasis has completely disappeared. It's definitely something you should mention to your specialist during your appointment - they might be able to shed some light on why this happened and whether it is linked to your current condition. 

    I hope that you will hear from someone who has been in your place before and seen their psoriasis suddenly disappear and that they will share their experience with you. 

    Best of luck for your appointment - do let us know, if you get a chance, how you got on!

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
