I'm going to hazard an answer here and I also looked it up. As with all of this cancer stuff there are so many sub-categories and etc. My take is that "Low Grade Leukemia" is the same or similar to… read more
Thanks so much for reaching out. I sure will follow up!
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.

I was diagnosed with CLL/SLL 9/2022 after finding swollen lymph nodes in my neck. Now they are in several parts of my body, and I have a slightly elevated WBC, but have no other "significant" symptoms. I'm on watchful waiting protocol. Has anyone else dealt with increasing lymph node swelling over a fairly short time and received no treatment? Also, could swollen nodes in the throat area affect swallowing? Seems like I have a harder time swallowing my vitamins.
Like many others on… read more
My swollen lymph nodes was in my right underarm. I was given 13 weeks of radiation, now in remission for 2 years.
