Sorry--We would love to be able to help you, but this is a patient support group. We are not licensed medical professionals, and therefore are not qualified to answer your question. (And even if some of us may know the answer, we should not answer it on this forum.) Your question should be answered by a physician, specifically a hematologist/oncologist. If you are being treated for a lymphoma, you can ask your own hematologist/oncologist. Or perhaps Lisa, our moderator, can direct you to a Mayo Clinic medical professional who is qualified to answer your question.
