Lymphoma???

Three years ago I had mono... Since then my lymph nodes have been swollen in my neck, but not painful. Unless I drink, then the next day they are sore. Recently I have been feeling weak, tired, have troubles breathing, chest pain, stomac pain. I was told I had a stomach ulcer. I was put on meds and my stomach is still in pain. I have been feeling very confused and forgetful as well. My blood work came back normal and I have a biopsy coming up in Feb for my lymph nodes... Just curious of my symptoms and looking for some insight.

I have read the symptoms of lymphoma, I sometimes get a fever while sleeping, but not major sweating, and nothing that would alarm me without the rest of the symptoms I am having.

My face, stomach and arms are also itchy sometimes... not everyday.

The pain in your nodes after drinking (alcohol I'm assuming) is as I'm guessing you know, a rare but documented symptom of lymphoma-- specifically, of Hodgkin's lymphoma. I've never seen it associated with any of the non-Hodgkin's subtypes. Some of your other symptoms would seem to suggest HL as well, including the itching, weakness, fatigue, abdominal issues, and respiratory problems.

But your blood work came back completely normal? Albumin & hemoglobin levels OK? WBCs normal? While those are no certainties, if they were in average ranges then that's at the very least a decent sign.
