Is There A Cause For Worry Due To The Results?

I have been in remission for the past 11 yrs( Non Hodgkins Lymphoma) This last exam showed changes in two of my blood test results. I have gone from yearly exams back to 3 months. They want to re check my bloodwork for changes before ordering a cat scan. I have continued with night sweats off and on the past year I have had profuse sweating even in the day. It seems to happen every time I do anything physical. Should I be worried ?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in,

Rarely a lymphoma might return after 11 years and it is important to detect it early and suppress with treatment. However, it is possible that other conditions might also cause similar symptoms like profuse sweating and tiredness. It will help to know if you recently had an unexplained weight loss or swellings appeared anywhere in your body.

I guess your annual blood work done 3 months back shows normal results but doing a repeat test is always recommended. You might also get tested for non cancer conditions like thyroid dysfunction keeping in mind the symptoms. Getting your results reviewed is good. Please do not worry.
