Doctors are driving me nuts!?


My doctors are unsure what is wrong with me. After multiple blood tests they have ruled out about every thing from lupus to HIV. You name it, they have checked it.
My symptoms have been, swollen lymph nodes, first one I found was in my neck under my jaw bone. And I had a breast lump, that was seen to be another node with an ultrasound. I have night sweats, fatigue, weight loss, and fevers.

My GP found nodes in my armpits, groin, and under my collar bone with a physical exam.
So he sent me for CT scan of my chest, abdomen, and groin. I got the results from that friday.
I have generalized lymphadenopathy. I have nodes ranging in size from 3cm - 8cm.
I also have an enlarged spleen, and an enlarged liver that also has a small spot on it that they are not sure what it is.
Lesions in both lungs, and something going on with the bone in my back on the right side. They say it is either a weak spot or something growing in the bone.

Cont.

So my doctor still says it may be Lymphoma, but has now added Sarcoidosis to the list.

I am going to have a bold axillary biopsy next week. I am hoping that finally I will get an answer.

Has anyone else been threw this? And if so what did they finally say you had?

And for anyone that has had a axillary biopsy, what should I ask my doctor about, and has anyone had problems after the biopsy with side effects?

I don't not have any experience in this, but I would like to send you lots of prayers and positive thoughts to get through the next few weeks.

From my limited knowledge, it sounds like it could be either.

I would put my trust in your physicians for now. When you get any diagnosis, I would get a 2nd opinion. There is hope that they aren't rushing you for immediate biopsies.

I wish you all the best.
