Hard to say...: The diagnosis of lymphoma is very complex and relies on a constellation of clinical signs and symptoms including unexplained weight loss, night sweats, lack of appetite, fatigue, progressively enlarging lymph nodes, progressively enlarging liver and/or spleen, etc. Ultimately, a lymph node biopsy is necessary in order to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Consulting your physician is recommended.
