A member asked:
I have a couple reactive para aortic lymph nodes with sudden weight loss lingering fever hair loss. could it be cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: There are several other potential explanations, such as TB, fungal infections, non-infectious inflammatory conditions like sarcoidosis. There is no question that cancer must be considered, but you should be fully evaluated by a pulmonologist, general internist or your family doctor and then referred onward if necessary.
