I got a ct scan done today and am awaiting the results. My doctor is treating me like I'm crazy bc everything "Seems" fine but when I got my ultrasound a few weeks ago there were numerous enlarged lymphnodes and the tech told me it's perfectly normal, for a sick person. I have taken 3 rounds of antibiotics and even steroids at the start of the sickness and nothing has helped.
Brief Answer:
biopsy may be diagnostic.

This is because rounds of antibiotics and steroids has not helped you.
I wish and hope that you are getting my point of view.
