We thought it could have been a thyroid problem but according to the doctor the sonogram showed a normal sized and functioning thyroid. He did notice that the lymph node was not majorly swollen but it was large enough to be considered enlarged. It never hit me that I am the person in the car who wants the heat turned up because I am always cold, but then I will sitting on the computer and feel like I am on fire and my whole body tingles. I get this prickly feeling in my legs, hands, and other extremities of my body..but I am not sure what all is related to this :/
Yes we did inform them. Some of them just ignored while my original dermatologist was very concerned.
This is probably a silly question, but you didnt mention it so Ill ask... you or your parents did inform the doctor about your family history of lymphoma right? It seems illogical to me that the doctor decided to cancel the biopsy with a family history suggestive of this possiblity.
Hi.
You may be having symptoms of lymphoma. However, there are other disease entities that can present with such symptoms. An example would be an endocrine problem particularly a thyroid problem, though this will not present with lymphadenopathy.
The diagnosis of lymphoma can be made by biopsy.
It would be best to go back to your doctor for further evaluation and management. A lymph node biopsy may be needed in order to have a more definite diagnosis.
Do post your updates.
Good luck.
I forgot that I have not mentioned new symptoms yet to my doctor. I was never asked about them but have noticed that some lymphoma symptoms are the sweating and fire-body-thing and coldness.
They never asked these things...
