Rapidly Enlarging Spleen/Swollen Lymph Node
by curious2009, Jan 24, 2009 08:12PM
What could be happening to me? My spleen is enlarging every month. It is now 15.8 cm and a few months ago was 11cm. Also, my lymph node closest to the liver is enlarged, red, and painful. My blood tests are somewhat abnormal including 4 "atypical lymphocytes", signs of being anemic, liver function abnormalities, and neurological symptoms.
Doctors have taken dozens of the usual tests and have ruled out the usual panel of diseases or viruses. EBV virus is most likely ruled out, no Lyme disease, no HIV. I have been sick for months and seem to be getting nowhere except my spleen keeps getting bigger and I feel worse everyday. Please help. Any ideas, insights, experiences are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have the doctors done a full cbc - white blood count, absolute lymph. count, etc. There is loads of information out there. Go to the CLL forum and you can begin informing yourself just on that kind of problem. Some of those people may be able to put you in the direction you need to go. Do the docs suspect leukemia of ANY type? Don't want to alarm you with that question because I have a niece that "all" that needed to be done was have her spleen out.
When you go to the doctors and they run blood test get a copy for yourself always. And keep hunting and researching on the internet.
