Pet scan lit up for two 4cm x 3cm lymph nodes-SUV 14/16 (does that mean anything?) in lumpy lymphs near kidney and right next to outside of colon tissue -oncologist diagnosed lymphoma today but no type yet, biopsy this week if they can reach them. Pet scan says consistent with active lymphoma. Is biopsy the only true lymphoma diagnosis or can the Pet and MRI alone be enough? Conceded to his diagnosis but started questioning without biopsy. Is biopsy in this case for type only?
If you donβt find someone with same cancer type
You might find people have or are going through similar chemo program and might share the symptoms that arise from this.
Wishing you get answers soon
Cali-Carrie,
Hi and welcome to the site. Everyone on here is so nice, helpful and supportive. I have/had DLBCL and had treatments of RCHOP chemo. I've been in remission for 3 years. I hope your biopsy goes well for you. Kelly
