So I have posted questions etc on the lymphoma part of this board, but thought I would see what you all think here. I have had enlarged lymph nodes for several months. Non painful, not tender. I just have a surgical biopsy of the biggest one that was about the size of a golf ball my surgeon said. So I am waiting for results. I am basically trying to figure out what else could it really be if it is not lymphoma.

I guess what seems weird is that my ct scan said enlarged thyroid and small low density nodules. I have no idea what that means actually. All my blood work including thyroid came back fine. I have lost a lot of weight lately. And I have really bad fatigue and body pain.

What could this be? Could this be somekind of thyroid issue or cancer?

Here are my ct scan results. Any advice is appreciated Very Happy
