I don’t know yet. But after my recent investigation it was very fast that they wanted to see me again. With my other cancer (brain tumour) I get to see my oncologist on the same day after the MRI. I… read more
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your sharing. I am glad you got the right diagnosis and are doing well.

Chemotherapy? Prayer? Your spouse? Diet? Church, masjid, temple, synagogue? Exercise? What's helped you most as an individual dealing with cancer?
I say, a spiritual practice is the best way to rise your spiritual energy. If you are Christian find a Christian spiritual practice that you can use (Bible spiritual reading, silent prayer… read more
Maybe depends on the type or we just unlucky to breath something in the air.
I had a small lymphoma on leg few years ago treated with steroid at dermatologist office . But new small lymphoma bump looks different and will see Oncologist soon. Do they usually do radiation, surgery, just like to be prepared ! Otherwise feel good no night sweats or symptoms ! Thanks Anita
Cathy, it stands for Marginal Zone Lymphoma.
I know that night sweats, fatigue, and itching can be related but Drs don't seem to know why and don't really offer any treatment or explanation other than if the "B" symptoms get bad enough or the disease seems to be progressing as evidenced by your routine CT and/or bloodwork - then it is typically time to bring on the Chemo or Immuno therapies. My Drs don't even document these things when I report them now. I am on my 2nd serious sinus infection this year. Anybody else?
I went to oncology and he gave me copy of biopsy. Does anybody know what it means when it says mature low grade B-cell lymphoma with CD5 co-expression , most consistent with small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia

I was just diagnosed a week ago and don't meet with my doctor to discuss next steps until after the new year. He mentioned possibly doing "watch and wait" method and I've read a lot that backs that up, which really surprises me. Why would you wait until things got worse to pursue any type of treatment?
For some types of blood cancer there's no evidence that early treatment, when you have no symptoms, improves outcomes. Instead, doctors recommend saving treatment for later, when it will have the best… read more
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 am not actively taking treatments right now but I just found a decent size lump on the inside of my left elbow. I am finding myself very agitated and little to no patience. That is totally opposite of my normal disposition. I am sooooo tired all the time. I don’t know what is normal because of my extremely stressful job or if this is part of the disease. I have follicular lymphoma.
I do too Terrie. It’s frustrating I know. Some days I’m more tired than there. Some days I feel nauseas but that’s nerves. I worry. Now I have a UTI where the heck did they come from 🙄.
