CRP won't help: C-reactive protein (CRP) is elevated in any medical condition assoicated with inflammation. There are hundreds of medical conditions that could raise CRP. An elevated CRP level would almost never be from lymphoma; and a normal CRP would not mean you don't have it either. Don't press your doctor on what tests you need; trust her judgment.
