Hi all
My 33 yr old son was diagnosed in July with CTCL/MF. He had "eczema" for about 7 years and had a spot on his back that was the size of a quarter. He went to a couple of different dermatologists over the years being treated with many different creams, a cortisone shot or 2 and 3 differed Biopsies and then the last one done in July of 2023 in NYC came back that he has CTCL. It is scary, we have so many questions that have not been answered. To top it off they have Not come up with a treatment plan. The spot on his back is now 4" x 7" and looks like he was burned with an iron. (its the only way to explain the look) He had a PET scan and all organs are clear.
He is going to one of the best hospitals in NYC and I am at a complete loss. Some of you are being treated with a light box, I was wondering how quickly the Dr came up with this treatment plan? My son has an appointment again on November 7th with both the Dermatologist that specializes in CTCL and the oncologist. If we dont walk out of there with some sort of plan and answered questions we are going to have to go elsewhere where we can have another doctor help us maneuver through this new life.
