Answers:
The symptoms your friend has are almost identical to the ones I had before I was diagnosed with lymphoma. I thought it was all due to some sort of virus that I couldn't get rid of so I never went to the doctor. This doesn't mean your friend has lymphoma, the symptoms are similar to what you will have with mono. The only way to know for sure is to go to the doctor and have them run tests looking for mono. If he doesn't have it they will probably do a lymph node biopsy. Either way it is really important that your friend goes to the doctor right away, lymphoma is more curable form of cancer, but it still needs to be treated... so does mono.Health Question & Answer
