March 28, 2012-
WBC 3.8 thou/uL- Inguinal lymphadenopathy with about 7 or 8 medium size nodes some feel solid -Lymph nodes in neck have grown over past few months & now feel a chain of about 6 nodes in left side sent to surgeon for inguinal node biopsy.

Symptoms that have come & gone over past year-
Night sweats (seems to be worse in my pelvic area) but i wake up damp & feels like I have wet the bed.
Difficultly sleeping but very fatigued
Abdominal Pain/Bloating
Frequent Headaches
Shortness of breath (not all the time)
Lesions on inside of bottom lip that resolve after a couple days
Joint pain in hips/wrists
Sudden urge to urinate with little warning has happened on several occasions.
Persistent lower than normal blood counts

They are wanting to do inguinal node biopsy due to the gradual increase in size of the lymph nodes
Neck lymph nodes are also palpable and have been for several months, should I request they biopsy node from neck?
I have asked to see hematology for consult before going for biopsy - haven't heard back yet.

Any thoughts or advice? Surgeon warned of potential lymphedema in right leg & chance of edema in my hip area as a result of procedure.

Thank you for your help!

I just went and had a pelvic & testicular ultrasound and have images available of it. the largest node is 6cm long, another that is almost 5cm long and have several that are between 1-4cm.

They are scheduling me for inguinal lymph node biopsy next week.

Thanks for your input.
