I'm sorry to hear about your sister.  Have they considered lymphoma?  I'm assuming yes since you posted on this forum.  The only way to diagnose lymphoma is with a biopsy of a swollen lymph node.  They might also be able to do a PET scan, which doesn't diognose lymphoma, but will light up any cancerous hot spots.  

I hope you and your sister get some answers soon.
