I have read that this condition is rare but I have a biopsy for breast cancer coming up and I also have non hodgkin lymphoma. I am wondering if you can have both at the same time!

Yes. But mine was just a lymphoma node in my breast
I am stage 4 and the future is both uncertain and frightening. I am 57 and underrstand that life chances are about 50/50 for a male of my age at stage 4 ?
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 researching this also…trying to decide on maintenance with Rituximab

Non Hodgkinslymphoma
I was diagnosed age 79 with NHL slow growing, in 2022. Oncologist said he has had patients live 20 years with this type. I asked if one can have this with no symptoms pre diagnosis (unless you can… read more
