I have anemia of chronic disease, psoriatric arthritis, an elevated sed rate and C-rp. itching, dropped 10 pounds in about 3 weeks, slight loss of appetite. I also get periods of exhaustion with a deep pain feeling deep inside me and in the bones-a malaise type feeling.

CT scan revealed mildly enlarged lymph node 1X1 cm on right inguinal region along witha mildly enlarged thymus (2X1 cm) and top normal sized lumph nodes in pretracheal and paraaortic region.

Spleen, at 12.6 cm, is mildly enlarged.

Is a bone marrow biopsy called for next?
What IS next?
Could this be lymphoma?

Thanks
Alan

As a 1 year survivor of lymphoma and also a nurse, after a few biopsies , pet scan to determine it was lymphoma, a bone marrow aspiriation was then done to determine if it had spread to the marrow. You need to have a good oncologist, who will search every thing out if it is lymphoma. You will be in my prayers.
