You're very welcome.  I hope you get some answers soon.  It might even be something completely unrelated to a blood disorder, but the bottom line is it's something, and giving up should not be an option on your doctors part.  I'm glad you are going to see another doctor.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Have you gone back since the weight loss and night sweats?  40 lbs is a significant amount of weight to lose in such a short time.  Possibly they could biopsy the adrenal node and get a diagnosis that way.  

I don't know what it is, but the symptoms point to lymphoma, leukemia or possibly some other blood disorder.  Keep hounding them and if you must, see a different doctor.
