Relax: If your symptoms are gone and you've seen your physician and have normal blood work, the likelihood of having lymphoma is extremely small. Relax. If your symptoms return or worsen, it's time to go back to your physician.

See your physician: I'm not sure why you are thinking of lymphoma. Basically everything normal except a one month period of low appetite and weight loss of unknown cause. Hard to pin that down other than "sick" for a while and now better. Noting the thyroid medicine and a young woman it could be from the thyroid -- or as you noted in your conditions -- depression, anxiety, hypocondria.

Not likely: Most lymphomas present with enlarged nodes somewhere. It may require cts of chest/ abdomen and specific blood test (esr, flow cytometry) and bone marrow exam to raise level of certainty. There is no perfect way to prove a negative- you do not have it- but we can certainly make it less likely. More commonly weight loss is related to inflammation and infection or other illnes than hidden lymphoma.
