I know, having swollen lymph nodes without obvious cause can be concerning. It’s only human to ‘fear the worst’…I don’t know why we tend to do this but it seems to be the norm. Most often, thankfully our worst fears just create unnecessary stress.
Chronic EBV can also cause swollen lymph nodes so that seems to be the focus of your doctor right now. Since the blood tests didn’t show anything with red flags your doctor is suggesting the biopsy of the lymph nodes. While I understand you’re fearful of what this may indicate, it’s really better to have this done, find a cause for your swollen lymph nodes and so you can move forward with a treatment to get back to normal.
Do you have an appointment for a biopsy yet? Will you let me know what you find out, please?
