She was diagnosed with acute sinusitis and dehydration and treated with SEPTRA DS, AFRIN nasal spray, SUDAPHED and TYLENOL with IVF's. Symptoms resolved and on 4/30/2003 she was evaluated for stress (death of 2 friends) reporting poor appetite x 1 month. On 5/7/2003 she presented to medical with diarrhea and vomiting x 24 hours, fever, hot/cold chills, night sweats, with positive tilt test and diagnosed with gastroenteritis (no lab/diagnostics studies).

She described this chest discomfort "as if someone was sitting on my chest" with radiating abdominal and flank pain. CXR's showed hilar lymphadenopathy and enlarged mediastinum with diagnoses of mediastinal lymphadenopathy, pyelonephritis, mild anemia and elevated LFT's. She was medevac's on 5/30/2003. After several difficult biopsies her second VATS procedure (June 2003) confirmed the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell type with extensive necrosis and multifocal severe lymphoid infiltration or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. On 6/28/2003 she received AVA #2 (FAV067). On 7/1/2003 she was admitted Stage II-A diffuse large cell lymphoma for chemotherapy via EPOCH-R protocol. In October 2003 and May 2004 repetitive PET scans showed remission and marked reduction of mediastinum tumor mass.
