Brief Answer:
Nothing suggestive of Hodgkin's Lymphoma or advanced liver disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
The symptoms you have mentioned are non-specific and there is nothing suggestive of either Hodgkin's lymphoma or any type of cancer or advanced liver disease.
You have had only a fatty liver in 2012 and that is not a feature of advanced liver disease.
I went through the blood reports (of 2013) and nothing is suggestive of advanced liver disease or any cancer.
You can get a repeat ultrasound scan and liver function test done to see whether your liver is fine now.
Since you have admitted you consume alcohol it is better to get these tests done again.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
