June 2019 i was diagnosed with primary cns lymphoma.
This year in march i had an ovary removed. They found diffuse large b cell lymphoma. My oncologist wants to put me on the r-CHOP regimen with stem cell transplant to follow as maintainance therapy.
Since I just recently was diagnosed with CLL I am not yet on any form of treatment. I am beginning to have joint and bone pain. I thought it to be from arthritis or the fosomax which I just started taking but after reading some symptoms of the lymphoma, it may be from the CLL. What is a safe med to take for pain? At this point Iβm just so confused and becoming more frightened. I will ask the oncologist at my next appointment.
