I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's lymphoma in May 2004 and I have never heard of blood in the urine being a sign but in any case you'd be wise to have that checked out by your doctor.
"Almost all lymphomas exhibit some general and specific symptoms, which depend largely on the type of lymphoma. One of the most common symptoms among lymphomas is the swelling of lymph nodes, which often occur in the upper body. These swollen nodes are not painful, which is what distinguishes it from an ordinary case of an infected lymph node, where the swelling comes with pain. Other common symptoms include a lack of energy and dramatic weight loss. Due to the effects that lymphomas have on the immune system, increased incidences of fever and infections are also another common set of symptoms among lymphoma patients. Other symptoms include night sweats and itching deep in the skin."
Since most diseases are able to take hold when the immune system is compromised it is wise in my opinion to have tests done to see if an why is has been weakened and then take the appropriate steps through supplements, diet, lifestyle changes etc to correct the problem. Very often drugs and chemicals weaken it even further.

CT of chest shows mildly enlarged lymph node in right groin, enlarged thymus and mildly enlaged spleen...also shows kidney stones although I am not having the immense pain I've hads with them in the past...have slight shortness of breah...last week I had bloody urine for couple of days and severe lower back pain although I do hve 3 levels of bulging discs, spinal stenosis and facet hypertrophy.
It would be easy to say that the blood is coming from the stones...but if not, is that a symptom of lymphoma?
