I very well understand your worry. A PET CECT whole body and biopsy is required for diagnosis,type of lymphoma and staging work up. along with it a bone marrow biopsy might be required .so this will guide in giving further treatment in form of chemo and radiation.my advise is that don't delay treatment as lymphoma is curable in 60 to 70 percent cases
