Recently I have lost approx. 48 lbs, have drenching night sweats, diarrhea, left side abdominal pain, and low grade fever. My doc sent me to a GI person, and I was sent for blood work, an abdominal ultrasound, pap smear, colonoscopy, upper/lower endoscopy, and finally, a CT scan. The Ct scan showed swollen lymph nodes in my groin, of which I had the largest removed. After being treated for the large seroma I developed after surgery, I don't know what my next step should be. The surgeons have ruled out infection, lymphoma, etc. Should I now see an internist? Do I go back to the GI doc, or my regular provider? Do I need further testing, such as a chest xray maybe? I am not sure if I should be concerned about these nodes or not, though I must admit I am! Could I still have some sort of cancer? I am going for a skin biopsy on my legs in Oct, as I have a rash that has been there for years (was told it was eczema years ago.) Any help and /or advice anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated!
