Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin)

Platelets - is it wrong to worship them??
My platelets were at 18 when I was first diagnosed with marginal zone B cell lympoma on 4/13. Hard to believe it has only been a little more than a month ago! I'm being treated with Rituxan and Prednisone, nothing else for now because I also have ITP (an autoimmune disorder) that was diagnosed at the same time. The ITP…

Possible Lymphoma with redness in both eyes
Hi, My mother currently has a mass on her right breast. The doctors performed a biopsy on the mass and found some B-cells. They are suspicious of lymphoma. She went in and received a CT scan of her chest to pelvic area and did not see anything abnormal other than the mass. She's going to receive a 2nd biopsy on her right…
It has been years since last treatment
And every test I go to has come back clean. I had type II Hodgkin's Lymphoma and after 6 months of chemo, 1 month of radiation and 1 surgery, everything was gone except scar tissue. Except every day I think about having cancer again. I feel like every day I wake up I am going to feel another lump, or start to feel tired.…
What is up with eyelashes?
The first thing that grew back after my last chemo treatment (May 13) were my eyelashes and eyebrows. They were just getting long enough for mascara and now it appears the long ones are falling out again. Anyone have a similar thing happen? - Susan

CT Scan Today
This afternoon is CT Scan, port flush, blood work and visit with the oncologist. I'm so "excited". Actually, I experienced some anxiety and spent most of the night watching TV and surfing the net until I could finally sleep (yawn). I guess I wasn't so good at being positive but I'm okay now ☺. Hugs are welcome :) . Jim

Then when I have chemo again in 3 wks I will be prescribed do that again. Does that seem abnormally high to you or have some…
Carol - Helpful info on Side Effects
Hi Carol, I thought it would be helpful to start a new thread for you. I read in your last post about you receiving your Neulasta injection, I believe today. This has the potential to cause some real bone pain, as it helps to grow new cells at a fast rate. Many Oncs just give you narcotics, which is fine but there is…
News!
Hi Everyone, Well went to my oncologist today and got my test results. No amyloidosis! Thank God for that! But lots of information today. I'm a bit overwhelmed. However, my hemolglobin is a bit low and several nodes are up. The biggie is the bone marrow though. I went from 10% to 50% infiltration. So needless to say…

Recovering my immune system
Hi, I've been in remission from NHL since chemo and stem cell therapy in Jan 2000 and things have been going extremely well. Except for the fact that my immune system never completely recovered. So I'm posting here to see if anyone who has been through the same can help. Some of my immunoglobulins particularly IgG are…

Hello friends, I have the good news bad news on my PET scan, the bad news is that my father had his follow up scan, and it came back positive. He has lung cancer again, I'm hoping that he can just go through chemo, I don't think he could handle another surgery. As far as mine goes, its all good except for that area in hip…

April 24, 2012 - 10:03am Today the onocologist begins. new All of my stuff has gotten here from MD Anderson and I will find out what they are going to do to me here for treatment.
