Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX
I understand your problem and worry.
Unfortunately, there is no scientific explanation for the urinary symptoms and the hand pain.
A neurologist may be of help to sort out the pain issue.
When the abdomen has got nodes, since these are secondary to a problem elsewhere, the primary tumor needs to be located and treated.
You may require a battery of tests to find out the organ of origin.
Wishing you good health
