Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin)

Might need radiation
I'm scheduled for a P.E.T. scan and then a evaluation with my Radiation Oncologist about radiation. Because its my neck, I'm going to have a mask fitted for my face so the radiation hits the same area all the time. Has anyone else had the mask? Its sounds so clostrophoebic doesn't it?

Good news, - for a change!
I've received good new, for a change. After only three chemo treatments, my low-grade NHL is "gone"! I'm in remission.

So thank you, everyone,…
