Accepted Answer

Lots of questions: Please forgive me. You need to look for some other explanation for your weight loss. Lymphoma is very, very unlikely given what you've been telling us in this and other inquiries. A good history and physical exam, a diet history, and some basic labs (thyroid, chem profile, CBC) need to happen; if weight loss seems due to subtle disease, tests to rule out gluten enteropathy, adult CF, others.
