Hi there.
I haven't been feeling well since January 1st. I have a lot of speculated problems and ideas but nothing has been really confirmed, this includes lymphoma.
When this first started my WBC was very low, but apparently, it's gone up (got the call today after having blood work at the beginning of the week). I haven't been shown the exact numbers or any other results from my blood work. While my WBC seems to be "improving" my symptoms are getting worse.
Even though my blood work seems fairly "normal", is it possible to still have lymphoma? Is it possible to change from low to normal and still be lymphoma? I would really like to see what you all think.
I have a swollen lymph node in my groin/tummy area which has become more tender and painful. This "lump" was noticed by a doctor at the hospital and I also think my neck lymph nodes are slightly enlarged, but not considerably.
lymph nodes in my neck, also a lump under my breast.
The symptoms are;
Unexplained weight loss (13% + of body weight in one month)
Trouble breathing (My oxygen levels were normal at the hospital, but it can feel like I'm not getting enough air especially after walking.
Chills / sweats / fever
Weak (I was turning off my phone and holding down the button and the exertion caused my hands to shake uncontrollably. )
Achy muscles, especially in my inner arm and legs
Trouble walking
Dizziness
Extreme stomach/hip/abdomen pain. I had an ultrasound and it was extremely painful, I cried.
Headaches
Have trouble going to bed but then have trouble getting out of bed, always tired.
Incredibly itchy, this is a new and very annoying symptom.
I think I'm pooping/peeing blood as well, I found some blood in the toilet earlier today, I do have pictures but I'll only share them if it's relevant.
Painful period cramps (don't know if this is relevant)
I have had a pelvic/ab external ultrasound but that came normal, and a pelvic/ab xray which came back normal. I also had a back xray (a chiropractor recommended this). It showed subluxations in my neck and lower spine, the chiropractor was "90% sure this was my problem" and the cost for the treatment was very expensive.
I do have a CT coming up, but no chest xrays or biopsy.
I'm wondering if it's possible to have a normal-ish WBC and still have lymphoma, or if it's happened to you.
