Thanks Deb. I have an appt with a new PCP on 11/2. This has been a hellish journey. I started with unexplainable fatigue when using big muscles such as my quads, and get very winded when I do things such as climb stairs. This is sudden after having been an athlete for 17 years. A BIG change for me. I also feel a general feeling of malaise quite often, have little physical motivation, decreased sex drive and irritability. While I was going through cardiac and pulmonary workups in the early summer, I discovered swollen nodes in my neck and clavicle. I then discovered a large one in my groin. I was referred to a surgeon who took the node in my groin out and the biopsy was negative. Through all this I completely lost confidence in my primary care doc who just cannnot think outside the box. So, I am seeing a new PCP next Friday. After the negative biopsy I started to explore other avenues. meanwhile, I started having horrible nausea and back pain when I eat. So I am scheduled to see a gastroenterologist on 11/7 and an endocrinologist on 11/29. However, with these neck nodes getting bigger and multiplying (which is very newly noticed by me) I am wondering about lymphoma again. I know there is something wrong and I feel like I am alone in my corner trying to sort it all out. I am hoping that this new doc with be better than the last one at looking at the whole picture instead of one little piece at a time and never splicing the symptoms together to see a pattern. It is soooo frustrating because docs seem like they are trying to tag you as crazy! Anyway, thanks for your support. So you think if the groin node was negative others could still be positive?
