A member asked:
Why would my doctor even bother doing a blood test and chest x ray to test if i have lymphoma if it does not completely rule it out?

Complementary: It is important to discard or consider other differential diagnosis before establish a treatment; so, it is needed to use a variety of tests. Besides, it is necessary to assess the state of other parameters, since this could help to measure the severity of your illness. I invite you to speak up to your doctor all this doubts, communication is very important in this difficult process.
