possible non hodgkins lymphoma. Mono diagnosis mis diagnosed?

	Asked by alewis (Female; 31; USA; Gallbladder absent. Appendix absent. Endemitriosis of uterus. Hernia at age of 5.; Relevant drugs:None ) on Mon 15, Sep 2008 05:13pm
	I saw a doctor today who is questioning my diagnosis of mono. I am enlarged in my spleen area. Have had shortness of breath and am swollen in many areas of my body. I have had extreme fatique and dizziness to the point of feeling like I am going to pass out. My lympnodes and neck are extremely swollen and it feels like I have a marble stuck in my throat. I have a history of cancer on my mothers side of the family. Is it possible that I was misdiagnosed with mono when I have non hodgkins lymphoma?

	Answer by Dr Noopur S, MD (doctor) on Tue 14, Oct 2008 06:17am: Hi, Thanks for writing in. Your symptoms of shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue and enlarged lymph node does seem to suggest lymphoma. However nothing can be said for sure without a clinical exam, blood test and biopsy of the enlarged lymph nodes. Please discuss this with your treating doctor and let us know if you need more information.
