Lymphoma

Posted by dillysmom25 @dillysmom25, Jul 22, 2018

Recently my son was found to have enlarged lymphnodes in neck abdomen and groin. Also mass in colon. They removed 1 lympnode and sent him back to jail. He is in a lot of pain. Should they be doing more????

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

@shaker1956 I have follicular non hoghkin lymphoma stage III without any current symptoms. So they have me on a watch and wait regiment.. Every six month blood work and once a year a CT Scan. Every check-up has the wording of Lymphoma re-staging. I been under surveillance for almost three years now.
You should really find out the type of Lymphoma as there are if im not mistaken 47 types of NHL and several types of regular lymphoma.
I believe they are all treated differently.
I hope your feeling better soon.
Would you be willing to share what the Dr says after your next visit?
I'm seing the Dr. This week as well for re-staging, blood work and CT Scans. I will be reporting what he tells me in a few days.
I wish you the best.

Hey TravelG. Thanks for the reply. I guess everyone dies feel different when it comes to some types of Cancer. I will just have to wait a few more days and see what they have in store for me. I’m told they take a bllod sample, make you wait an hour so they can analyze it and then the Doc sits diwn with you with a plan. I do exercise a lot. I walk my dog everyday as well as I cycle at least 10km’s. But I find my energy level is not where it was a month ago. I also start playing hockey next week so I’m really looking forward to that. Enjoy your day.....

That's exactly how the doctors at "my" clinic do it. I am always reassured when my doc does it just like somebody else....
