The doctors now think I have Acute Gastritis...

But Im still thinking it might be Lymphoma.
I think the swollen lymph nodes are getting bigger and pushing on my nerves becasue my back has been feeling so horrible lately.

Give me your thoughts on this. =D

What tests have the doctors done to confirm the Acute Gastritis? I have no reason to doubt that they are correct in their diagnosis, however if you are in doubt, a second opinion is always an option. When asking for a second opinion, make sure the doctor is not in the same group as the original doctor. Also, make sure you move up the chain... that is, look for a better qualified doctor: If you are in a small community, this means going to a major medical center... preferably one with a good reputation for cancer treatments. You might want to look for hospitals that have earned the "Center of Excellence in Oncology" status.

Best wishes.
