@stanleykent I’m so happy that your in remission. What treatment did you have to bring you there?
I was diagnosed with Primary Cutaneous Marginal Zone extra nodal B-Cell NHL in March 2022, had surgery in September 2022, complete excision of 1 isolated tumour which I thought was a spot, which didn’t go away and began to grow in size on my forehead. It had a halo around it or a target 🎯 like circle ⭕️, 3 Dermatologist Consultants diagnosed it as a Basal Cell Carcinoma, then after the biopsy called me back in to inform me it was a lymphoma. I was in shock. I had come to terms with it being a BCC & wanted it to be just that!!! I had no other treatment. Thank God I have had nothing since & today is 8 February 2026. I had no symptoms other than that hard red 2cm tumour which grew from the size of a flat pin head, other than feeling fatigued at about 11pm which is bedtime so I didn’t really think anything of it. I believe it was work/stress caused. I have an “incredibly” stressful job. Heading back to work this month. Are you back at work?
Take care

@steiner Hi, Regarding stress potentially causing cancers, you might look into epigenetics. There has been a LOT published on this (e.g., "Epigenetic Determinants of Cancer", https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5008069/).

What caught my eye was the statement that epigenetic changes are reversible, so it looks like an interesting topic to explore further!
