Hi where to start lol.. I started to have really bad night sweats off and on for a while they would last about a week or two then would come and go soaked shirt hair ect. Then I started losing weight I was 110 in April as of now Iam 97lbs. I have also just started having really itchy skin all over sometimes is bad other times its not. I have not started any new meds or changed anything. My dr did some blood work yesterday and I still have not heard back. How long does it take to get it back?? Should I be worried??

Thanks

Hi Maggie,

My Dr did say that due to my symptoms she feels it could be lymphoma.. I had a ct of my pelvis and abdomen since it was tender. That showed up good even though the dr that read it was comparing it to my last ct in which I had 3 bowel obstructions. Also the lab work had to be sent out due to ins.. I will call this morning. Thank you I will keep you posted. Also if labs comeback normal should I get my marrow tested to be safe??

If your labs come back ok then I think that your doctor will try to figure out what the next step will be for you.
