I was referred to a liver specialist when two lesions were found on the right lobe of my liver via ultra sound and I had abnormal LFT. By the time my referral came through, I had had to give up due to fatigue, severe nausea, severe sweating, night sweats (which seem to have settled)and temp raising. My Consultant performed many scans including CT of the liver but could not identify the lesions (cyst?). Eventually after being admitted into hosopital twice she decided to look for possible lymphoma. I have no raised lymph nodes ( shown by CT of chest, abdomen and pelvis)but the last CT showed an enlarged spleen. Bloods are normal agin except for raised ESR 50? She has referred me to a Haemoloigist at another hospital and has mentioned possible lymphoma. My concern is that if I have no raised lymph nodes how do they diagnose this, what do they biopsy? I am so ill now I am in bed most of the time (I have a partner and 3 children) any over exertion at all produces terrible sweats and sometimes dizziness. I ahve constant nausea and upper abdominal pain. My doctor has also hinted that my symptoms may be caused by depression! My depression is caused by my symptoms! I am also waiting for the results of a MRI scan of the liver. I feel so ill now that I'll be relieved when they finally diagnose something but I upset and confused. Can you have lymphoma just in your spleen??
Many thanks for any help
