hi there i was just wondering if there has to be a certain lymph node removed to comfirm a diognosis of lymphoma? i ask this because i have had a node removed that wasnt the biggest node that i have and i seem to have a node that is matted to another node that has started to become harder! i am concerned about that lymphoma may have been missed as i have new nodes appearing and slowing increasing size over time that are not painfull.

i have started to lose alot of muscle mass, i am seeing this mostly in my face, forearms, wrists, hands, legs, feet, knees and neck, pretty much all over my body!

also i have started to get lower back pain and there seems to be some sort of swelling that doesnt go away.

can anyone give me some advice on this i am really worried and im only 20 years of age and going out of my mind!! hope to here a reply soon thanks!!!

Hi cquemard

Go back to the doctor. Do it as soon as you can. Insist that another biopsy be done.

That's all I can suggest and there is basically nothing else you can do.

Good luck I hope you get some relief from your worries.
