I am not scared or what this may or may not be, but my 23 year old is tired of not feeling well. She is at college and needs to come home to get this taken care of. My problem is, doctor is taking sweet time. Are these findings something that I need to request sooner action or is waiting with these findings okay? Please someone give me guidance. Thanks |

| I am finding it difficult from your post to identify what has been done. Can you clarify what the doctor has done in the way of tests, and what specifically he/she has suggested as diagnosis, if any. |

| My daughter is 23. Past three years complained of stomach pain. To make this short, had endoscopy, colonoscopy, CT (2 times) and pillcam. Ct shows circumferential wall thicening of distal terminal ileum, mildly prominent mesenteric lymph nodes in right lower quadrant of abd, 1.3 x 2.2 lymph node in right lower quarant mesentery, other lymph nodes smaller in size in same location, uterus moderate hetrogeneous. Hyperplastic lymph nodes in ileocolic region, intra-abdominal demonstrates nonspecific adenopathy involving ileocolic portion of the messentry, incidental right ovary cyst. Pillcam shows small polyp in distal small bowel, mild lymphoid hyperplasia in distal small bowel, medium size submucosal nodule in mid to distal small bowel, multiple aphthous ulcers throughout, Grade II esophagitis. Hemoglobin and Hemacrotic is low, monocytes low, very high CRP - inflammatory, low carbon dixoide, the two test for possible crohn's came back negative and ANA lupus test came back negative. She is hurting in stomach always, nauseated but does not vomit, no engery at all, lymph nodes in neck and under arm swell at times, not sore and not always, but swell up and down. The doctor not sure if chron's or lymphoma or what. Doctor seems concerned, but is taking her own sweet time. She wants her to have a laparscopy. Does this sound normal. I can handle whatever is wrong with my daughter be it chron's, cancer or just inflammed, but something needs to get done. She is not staying at college because she is so tired of feeling bad. Do you think laparscopy is the right direction and why and when will they find out. Any suggestions? |

I suspect that the answer will be yes - it is necessary. Fairly intensive investigation has gone on and the diagnosis seems to have been narrowed to Crohn's [even though there have been negative tests] or a lymphoma. I am not sure anyone can answer your question as to what they might find.
It is hard when it takes so long for diagnosis, but symptoms of this kind can indicate so many different disorders. Diagnosis is not an exact science but a combination of detective work, logic and a certain amount of experience and instinct, and with an obscure disorder it can seem to take forever.
In the meantime, making sure that your daughter is getting enough nourishment is important, and it is worth considering complementary treatments such as reiki in order to relax and balance her. |

| Yes, I am hoping that we do get to the bottom of this soon. I need to correct something because it may be misleading. She has had stomach problems on and off for three years. We just did not start investigating into it until January of this year. So since January, they did different tests. They are moving along and she is scheduled for laparscopic exploratory surgery at the end of this month. They need to go in and possibly take biopsy of things they see. Maybe they did not want to say anything and maybe I just didn't ask the correct questions, but none of the doctors believe it is Crohn's. she has some crohn signs; however, the nodules, hyperplasia lymph nodes and polyp in distal small bowel is something they must be looking at. I just wish someone could -- although I know nothing is set it stone until biopsy is done -- but are they looking for lymphoma, are these signs of stomach or small bowel cancer? just curious if anyone has ever had these findings and what was the diagnosis. Yes, everyone is different, but just can't seem to have anyone say, yes, I've had similiar findings. |
