55 year WM has all the symptoms of t cell lymphoma but doctors say no cancer. What could it be?

Question

Patient has had symptoms for over two months: fever, fatigue, spleen was enlarged--part of it "died" and was removed, headaches, nausea but no vomitting.

Patient has seen four doctors already and none can diagnosis him so far.

Answer 1

Time for a second opinion perhaps - see a good hematologist or oncologist. A naturopath might be able to advise you.

Answer 2

If it is financially possible for you, seeing a Dr who specializes in the area of cancer would definitely be a good idea. That would give you another opinion and perhaps some peace of mind. Also, even if it's not cancer, if you are still experiencing symptoms there is something causing them. If there is a big university -teaching hospital (i.e. Penn State at Hershey, UPMC in Pittsburgh, Pa, Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md, University of Maryland also in Baltimore, these are just examples,) there are many in the USA. These hospitals have some of the best Dr and specialists and are equip for tough diagnoses and treatment. Don't give up, it's your body and you know how you feel even if your symptoms have not been diagnosed yet.

Answer 3

any night sweats?
That was the big symptom tip-off in my Lymphoma. But, I had B cell. Sometimes even with Lymphoma, it's a 'watch and wait' scenario. Mine was agressive and had to be treated right away. Keep on it until you're satisfied. I'm not a doc. But, best of luck to the patient.

Answer 5
