I visit the site daily several times, I may not write but do think and pray for all of you. I've been wondering about Mchantal lately... wishing the best to each and every one of you and all your loved ones...
To hell and back...
One year ago after many doctor visits, scans and biopsies I was diagnosis with Follicular Lymphoma. I had a swollen lymph node in my neck. Upon arriving home from a funeral I learned my Doctor was trying to reach me, he was in South Korea. I knew it wasn't going to be good news. It was 2:00 in the morning his time. When he…
Newly Diagnosed Mantle Cell
Hello all. I was just diagnosed Friday with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. I am scared beyond belief. I am 57 years old and have been very healthy all my life. About 2 months ago a Dr found a left supra clavicular lymph node swollen, not painful and very moveable. I thought it was nothing but from my wifes urging I went to my…
Tightness in Hip and Thigh Area?
Hi, 42 male with NHL diagnosis in Jan-2014 here. Mine started with a neck lump that was removed and later determined to be Stage 1 NHL. Subsequently I received radiation treatment. Over the past several months, I've noticed a chronic tightness in the front of my hips (around my beltline), thighs, and sometime groin area.…
Conjunctival MALT lymphoma
In 2013 I had a very small tumor removed from my right eye, the surgeon said it had a 'tail' that went behind my eye and she couldn't get it all that I would need low beam radiation therapy to remove it all. I was pregnant during the removal, and was not very excited about having radiation post partum. So i decided against…
Waiting
I want to start off by saying my husband has not yet been officially diagnosed with lymphoma. That being said, two and a half weeks ago an oncologist from Mayo clinic told us, "I'm 90% positive you have lymphoma." This was following a PET scan which revealed high (SUV 9.8) metabolic activity in the right axilla, retro…
Looking for answers
Hello, Let me start by saying I have not been diagnosed with any form of cancer at this time. I have very high concerns though that I feel are being brushed off by the last two general practioners I have seen about my concerns. Here's a little about me. I apologize in advance for my lack of brevity. Four years ago I was…
Moving Forward
I had a CT scan on Wednesday, which was the first one since February 2013, when a PET scan showed I was in remission. I then proceeded with 2 years of Rituxan maintenance, which ended this past February. Friday, I saw my oncologist to discuss the findings of my CT scan and discuss what next. He handed me a copy of the CT…
1st annual checkup
Been feeling a lot of fatigue lately. I had my first post Rituxan 1 yr checkup with mixed results. Blood work was normal. Dr. Ordered a biopsy on my strange small, hard neck lump just to rule out cancer. He also found very small nodes in my armpits and groin. If neck biopsy is clean, which is what he expects based on its…
Just found out
as of 1 month ago. Was hospitalized for an unrelated condition when it was discovered. It has answered many questions for me as to why I felt tired all the time and just never felt 100%. I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I now have an ileostomy to deal with so I can't say I'm feeling all that upbeat at this time.…
