hi

my best friend is 30 and shes had two swollen nodes on her neck for the past two months. the doc found two more. her cbc is ok, ultrasound ok but they sent her for a full body pet scan.

I hear that lymphoma is not common in our 30s, but nobody knows for sure...

Shes constantly sick with the flu, but no other symptoms. Im not sure, but wouldnt wbv be high if these nodes were caused by an infection or bacteria?

      no the nodes are in the back. I guess they did ultrasound to check if there were cysts
