I'm doing fine.

My advice is to ask for another blood test, even if there is nothing wrong it will put your mind at ease.

My bloods were all over tge place, frpm that I went to a specialist clinic at Kings College Hospital, had an ultrascran, PET scan, lymph node removed, from that they can tell if its benign, Non Hodgkins Lymphoma or Hodgkins Lymphoma, the difference between the 2 gives different treatments
Mu symptoms were
Night sweats, literally soaking the bed, I thought I'd wet it
Swollen nodes in my neck & under my armpit
Constant cough, that was a tumour on my chest.
Fatigue
Trouble is there are plenty of nor.al illnesses that can cause this.
Never had the weight loss, was gutted.

Let us know any updates

Made me laugh! laughthumbup
The joke is part of the treatment for Lymphoma is steroids which turn you into an emotional wreak & an eating machine, caused me to gain a few kilos, but apparently thats a good thing my nurse told me "All the time you are not losing weight then you are beating the cancer" biggrin
