Question for a Friend... - Lymphomas Message Board

I know you all know me and have heard my story~

A friend at work was talking about alot of symptoms that he has been going through over the past few weeks, mostly things like tiredness, fatigue, little bit if night sweats, headaches, etc...

He recently had CT Scans done of his abdomen, pelvis and chest...I think along with the brain MRI due to sinuses...they found nothing as far as enlarged lymph nodes, etc...and nothing was noted on the reports...

I am pretty convinced that if this was lymphoma something would have been seen on these CT Scans correct, he has also had his keck and other typical lymph nodes checked and they are without any type of enlargement...Just want to ease his mind similar to the way you all did mine...Thanks again!

Hey Ash, This may sound silly but just throwing something at you. If you 2 work together, what kind of work do you do? Work with any chemicals or something of that sort. Just a thought

Take care, Linda

That is a very good thought, Linda. Let us know Ash

Take care

That IS a good point....maybe it is some environmental factor that is causing these symptoms. And I agree, Mark, that it would be likely with all those tests having been done, that enlarged lymph nodes would have shown up somewhere. Other causes are worth looking into. Maybe start asking others if they have had any similar symtoms.

You I never really thought of that, we work for an Automotive supplier, we work in the front offices, but there is a production shop behind us which we walk through every now and then briefly to get in and out of the building, we are a rubber injection supplier, so there maybe something there...
