Brief Answer:
Possibility of Hodgkin's
lymphoma needs ruling out
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs Jeni Woods,
Thank you for choosing WWW.WWWW.WW for your health related query.
I have carefully gone through your query and I understand your concern.
I am afraid this might be initial stage of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Your presentation is most commonly associated with very early stages of Hodgkin's lymphoma during which time the blood picture might look normal and even the
tumor may also be absent.
Pain immediately after consuming alcohol is very uncommon, and as literature suggests, it happens in about 2 to 3% of individuals with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
You would need to get yourself evaluated fully, you might need to get an
MRI scan of the chest and abdomen as X-ray and
CT scan can not be done since you are pregnant.
Blood work can be very much normal in early Hodgkin's disease. The silver lining is, it is an early symptom and Hodgkin's can be cured with proper treatment.
I am sorry to be putting you into
stress, it is unfortunate but needs to be ruled out.
Hope this answers your query, please feel free to write back to me if you have any more queries.
Wishing you all the very best and good health and safe
pregnancy.
Warm regards.
