Postponed chemotherapy
Hey, All! My dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Splenal Marginal Zone Lymphoma last November and was treated. That cancer transformed into aggressive B cell lymphoma a few months later. (I've been told this happens in 10% of cases.)The doctors in our hometown in Idaho didn't know which signs to look for, so he spent several…

Just another newbie - frightened spouse
Hi all, Where to start? My husband has lymphoma. They are still narrowing it down, 2nd look by 2nd pathology lab still in the works, but my husband pretty definitely has some variant of b cell non hodgkin's lymphoma. Actual treatment is probably 3 weeks to a month away I'm going to guess, meanwhile other tests,…
Chemo done - CT scan done - large nodes found - next?
I have follicular lymphoma, diagnosed last Dec and R-Chop started in June. I had my last chemo mid-May and the last Rituxan 3 weeks later in June. About 2 weeks ago I had my After Chemo CT scan.

First Forum Ever Posted- Need Advice
Hello, I am almost (in 2 weeks) 24 years old. I have always read the forums but had yet to make a post. For the first time I am seeking advice, as this seems like a very supportive network.

Does it seem like Lymphoma or bone cancer, or...?
Hello - Does this sound like Lymphoma, bone cancer, infection, something else? 39 year old male. Generally healthy. Not a hypochondriac, although I can certainly see how people can be given the past couple of months I've been through... I had a spot on my left forearm about 2 inches up my arm from where my wrist bends that…
Maintenance Rituxan Questions
Greetings, For several years I have felt that Rituxan was my miracle drug! However, over the last year I have begun to wonder if it really is too good to be true. My father was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimme disease in his 70s. He developed Follicular NHL Stage 3B at 82, had CHOP and lived to 89 and died of…
Wrong diagnosis and second opinions?
I went to my primary doctor for sweating and fatigue in March 2015. I just had a baby in November 2014, so I was thinking all this was hormonal and a magic pill would fix it all. While I was there he decided to do simple blood tests just to make sure and he noticed a rather large lymph node in the right side of my neck. My…
