Thanks for your question on HCM. .
Non hodgkin s lymphoma is the cancer involving lymphatic system and blood.
And for diagnosis of any cancer , tissue material (biopsy) from involved organ is needed. With out this report no one can diagnose cancer 100%.
So for non hodgkin s lymphoma either lymphnode biopsy or bone marrow biopsy is needed. The symptoms you are describing are seen in non hodgkin s lymphoma. But biopsy is must for confirmation of diagnosis.
