can lyme disease or co infections mimic lymphoma symptoms ? low iron, Epstein barr virus, no cells were found in fluid taken from node site which is enlarged. they proceeded to remove a node because doctor is certain it is lymphoma . we get results on friday. I have had lymes twice. we live in a high risk area . my western blot test came back negative but was treated because of clinical diagnosis. i am fine now. so i have heard horror stories about false negatives and wonder about the symptoms . thank you.
