Diagnosed with mal recent report from specialist said mantle cell b cell lymphoma non Hogkins lymphoma. No lymph nodes yet found on scans no spleen problems specialist said slow growing 6 months ago of last few months bone pain hot sweats and frequent diarrhoea.
Hi Mar 3- I am originally from W.A and briefly Wodonga in Victoria- relocated to Thailand 15 years ago and currently have partial remission from NH Follicular Lymphoma.
I understand specialist medical care in regional Australia can be be non existent or difficult to find- hope you can find someone to put your trust into.
My source of care is 100 km from home but is very good.
Good luck with everything and stay as positive as you can.
Cheers
Graeme
