Hi, thanks for reading. I went for a guided biopsy for lymphoma yesterday following a short stay in hospital. I have a small swollen node in my neck, which I've had for a few months, an achey pain in my chest and around my back (similar to a pulled muscle pain) elevated liver enzymes, low grade fever for 4 weeks and hot flushes at night. I've felt absolutely exhausted/extreme tiredness the best part of a year.
A doctor at the hospital has told me it is possible I have lymphoma.
During the guided ultrasound yesterday, the radiologist told me that the node looks perfectly normal and that she wouldn't do the biopsy.
I'm waiting for a call from the doctor advising me what happens next. Obviously I'm pleased she felt that node wasn't suspicious, and I'm not looking for a diagnosis with this post, however I can't shake off the feeling something is wrong.
Has anything happened to anyone similar? Did you have a prolonged fever when you were diagnosed with lymphoma, or an ultrasound that looked ok?
FYI glandular fever, which they had hoped it was has been ruled out.
Thanks for reading x
