Within the last week my wife was diagnosed with lymphoma. A biopsy of a node from the neck was taken, but the results came back inconclusive, but mentions Plasmablastiod. Biopsy has been sent to John Hopkins for analysis. Only current symptoms are stomach pain, swollen lymph nodes in neck and abdomen, and constipation. Anyone have an experience with this possible diagnosis?

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?

I am reading here that a lot of people have been receiving treatment with a lesser stage (I & 2) than I have. (I have Stage 3 *follicular* non-hodgkins lymphoma). I have been on watch and wait since my diagnosis in April 2019. I'm wondering why the oncologist is holding off on any treatment. Why wait until it gets bad? Has anyone gotten treatment while being asymptomatic? If you do have symptoms, at what point did your Dr decide to start treatment?

My check up yesterday, I knew would be with assistant, I met 1 time prior and tried not to make judgment. Yesterday I asked pointed questions! I couldn't get an answer!!!! Agh! I asked "what is the name of my leukemia?" She's scanning my chart online... ummm I don't know, it doesn't say. Wow I say. The initial blood work said CD5 small B cell leukemia. She then says "yeah, yeah it says that". Then I asked "Is that the name then?" She said "Um I don't know" I said OK then what's the name of… read more

At this point, I’ve decided not to start treatment
I have lost two friends in the last year to other types of cancer
They both went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
They continued telling me that the chemotherapy had caused many uncomfortable side effects and weren’t sure whether it was causing more painful issues than it was worth.
They both have passed in the last three months.
They both expressed to me that their quality of life, and getting some extra months, wasn’t really… read more

I didn't see it listed as one of the "lymphomas". I was diagnosed February 20, 2019. I had chemo and was told in October that I was in remission.
