So for the last 14 weeks, I have had swollen lymph nodes in my neck. I have been given 3 rounds of different antibiotics, and 2 doses of steroids. It has not gone away. The CT scan showed lymphadopathy in the cevical lymph nodes in my neck. Recently, I had a pet scan from head to thigh, which showed a focal uptake within the uterus measuring a mazimum SUV of 8.3, as well as there is diffusely increased uptake identified throught the bone marrow. 

They are doing a biopsy of the lymph nodes in my neck.

I have not yet gotten to talk to the Dr regarding the PET scan can someone let me know there thoughts.

I have been losing weight, have no appetite, been running fevers, night sweats, and have bone pain. I get frequently sick.

They are concerned of possible lymphoma, but that's all I know right now. 

Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

      I lost about 30-50 pounds in a short time.

      They are doing a lymph node open biopsy in my neck, and then they also scheduled a bone marrow biopsy for two days after.

      The lymph nodes in my neck a swollen bilateral, there are two big ones and others are swollen just not as big as those two. My whole neck looks swollen and getting bigger.
