3 clean blood works an x ray and ultrasound! What are the odds I could have lymphoma?

MrGreek,

None of us here can give "odds," but most will share educated opinions.  You do not give sufficient reasons as to why you think you might have Lympoma in the first place.  I can gather that at some point you had enlarged nodes that have shrunk, but otherwise you provide insufficient detail.   How were the nodes detected ? Where ?  How widely dispersed ?  Were you diagnosed with anything else, like an infection or autoimmune disease ?

I will say that little you write preculdes (rules out) Lymphoma.  An fna biopsy and core needle are more similiar than different, and an excise biopsy (surgical removal) is always much more authoratative.   Needle biopsies are easily and often wrong, and one test could be positive or suspicious because that node is cancerous, while another node tests negative because it is benign.  X-rays are of little worth in indentifying Lymphoma generally, and a stomach ultrasound would spot stomach Lymphoma, but not Lymphoma located elsewhere.  And most Lymphomas originate in the following regions: Axillary (armpit), center of chest, spleen, or groin.  Origination in the stomach/lower GI is uncommon but possible.

Ergo, given what you shared, anything is possible.  Blood tests are worthwhile, but many people with advanced disease have had essentially normal labs.  My own history is indicative of all of this:  I never felt an enlarged node anywhere, ever, I had NORMAL CBC just before diagnosis.  BUT:  A CT done within a week showed massive nodes from one axillary to the other side, filling my heart cavity, inside both lungs, wrapped around the whole length of my escophagus, on my spleen, wrapped around the whole length of my superior vena cava , and in my pelvic region.   I had never lost any weight.  So I attach little weight to blood panels in initally diagnosing Lymphoma, alsthough some people are in fact first led toward Lymphoma testing by blood work. It just varies by individual.

Most doctor correctly assume against blood cancers (Lymphoma and Leukemia are sister diseases, and both are WBC cancers) until the evidence clearly indicates its presence.  CT and PET tests are the most accurate ways to strongly indicate Lymphoma, and only a positive biopsy ever proves it.

I hope this assists you.  Bottom line: There is no way for anyone to know what is going on with you with the limited information provided thus far.  Hope for the best and investigate for the worst,

Having an entire node out, unless ruled out by doctor, is the only means of being reasonably certain one way or the other.
