It has been a few months since I have been on the group. Tyler my 33 yr old son has CTCL/MF.
We are still having a hard time understanding this. I feel there isn't enough information out there or we are just not understanding this condition. Tomorrow Tyler goes back to NYC to Sloan for his 3 month follow up with the dermatologist and oncologist. He has been using Triamcinolone Cream since he was diagnosed in July and receiving photo therapy since the end of December.
I need to thank you @shari715. You answered a lot of questions for me. If I was not a part of this support group I do not know where we would be regarding Tyler's treatment and my piece of mind. I have absorbed so much information reading this thread. I record the appointment so if we missed something or may have questions later, listen, ask questions and make suggestions when we go to Sloan.
It is nice to have a group to go to for support and give support.
Tomorrow we will see what is next....

Thanks for your kind words. The best, if somewhat overwhelming information, is on the CTCL. I am sure the MD at Sloan will be very helpful. When I was 32 (in the dark ages) I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and was successfully treated. I wish I had access to people at Sloan or even Mayo so I could ask the doctors if there is a connection. My current amazing doctors do not know the answer. Keep in touch.
