![]() You can see that by the post on this site. They are good for statistics, even though some are way outdated,but we are all different in the way we respond to any treatment. Just a little advice stay off those web sites with all the statistics. Sort of like a duck on the pond,cool and calm above water ,but paddling like hell underneath. There are so many different types of Lymphoma so if thats what you have it will have to be classified. It does not make any difference from what they tell me. In June I had a bone biopsy and it was in the bone. I was on the watch and wait thing like so many others on here. I am no dr., but.? I was diagnosed in April of this year with nhl. Right now we don't know if thats what you have or not. That is diagnosed people not undiagnosed people. This disease hits at least 66,000 people a year. Stay strong and help each other because that is good mental medicine. I am encouraged by what I read on these forums and regardless of my soon to be learned diagnoses.I wish you all the best. I feel like each day that goes by is wasting time for treatment. I'm hoping I hear something today, though they said it will probably be Monday. The initial shock of "Lymphoma" and everything surrounding it has subsided and now I'm ready to tackle whatever comes my way. The general surgeon won't give me any indication one way or another, however, more and more I'm prepared for the worst.įor those experienced in this, you would know that I just gave a quick version of an already long story. They ended up making about a 3 to 4 inch incision and removed "some" lymph nodes. On August 18th I had the outpatient surgery. He explained that I need to have a biopsy done. Basically, he explained that I had a cluster of nodes in the region of my right groin that were swollen and "some more" in areas nearby. I never had one before and consider that quite unpleasant - more so because I was not mentally prepared for that.Īt any rate, my doctor called me at home later and was pretty straightforward with me. Sure enough, another technician came in with her. When the lady performing it said, "I'll be right back." I had a feeling something was wrong. My doctor said it could be a hernia but more than likely was a swollen lymph node.Ī few days later, I went in for an ultra-sound. Fortunately, I've been fairly religious about my yearly physical which work pays for and set this year's appointment up early. ![]() I just turned 40 in June and am very healthy. ![]() It seemed to subside some when I was off of work for a few days.Īfter about a week and a half, I became more concerned. I wear alot of equipment at work so thought it was possibly a hernia. Even though I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself I decided to post now.Ībout a month ago I noticed a "bump" in the area of my right groin. I ghosted these boards for a bit and see there are alot of caring and experienced survivors here.
