Waiting for CT Scan..

For a few months now I've had enlarged lymph nodes. I took antibiotics and prednisone for over a week with no results, so my doctor put me in for an ultrasound. They found abnormal nodes in both of my armpits, so I'm waiting until monday for a CT scan. The more I keep thinking about it the more I feel like I have lymphoma. If it were an infection the antibiotics should have taken care of it, but now I have to wait which seems to be impossibly hard. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it couldn't be anything but lymphoma.

 

Update: Surgeon decided to skip the CT scan and do a biopsy of one of the nodes to check it. I agreed that would be better because imaging would only eventually lead to a biopsy. Now im waiting until friday for my surgery.
