Lymphoma in small bowel?

Hi Everyone, 

 

I was wondering if someone might have had some similar symptoms to mine and able to give some advice on what to maybe expect. 
 

I have Sever night sweats, I have pain in my joints, I have developed anemia in last few months and feel breathless a lot of the time. I have on and off swollen lymph nodes in armpit. 
 

I have had PET, CT scans and all show there is thickening in the mid jejunum with a small associated non-obstructive intussusception. 
I have also had a peripheral blood immunophenotyping test done which is where they look at it under mycroscope to detect cancerous cells. My blood results are also persisten lymphocytosis where my white blood cells are higher than usual. 
 

I'm worried it might be cancer, I would appreciate HONEST advice. 
 

thank you in advance and wish you all the best!! 

  • Hello Carlaa94, 

    Unfortunately no one here will be able to tell you what it might be as only the medical experts will be able to interpret your results accurately but I hope that you will hear from other members of the forum who have experienced similar symptoms and that they will be along shortly to share their story with you. 

    It's good that you have had all these scans and tests done and it won't be long I am sure now until you get your results and an explanation as to what might be the issue. This is I am sure a very worrying time for you as you are waiting to find out more but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
