Was diagnosed by accident two years ago when family Dr. pursued enlarged lymph nodes in neck caused by epstein barr virus(blood work showed)..but 4 biopsies showed Cll/Sll....now blood work every 3 months with physical and ct scan yearly....three oncologists now say just watch and wait....63 years old and lymph nodes are small pea size and blood work has been excellent they all am told blood work won't necessarily show either condition if its slow growing with no symptoms....the biopsies are the gold standard doctors go sir for this video.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer several months ago. It was the CT scan that picked up on the enlarged lymph nodes in my upper and lower abdomen retro- peritoneum . Biopsy shows B-Cell lymphoma. I’ve always been so healthy, no smoking or drinking, I exercise and stay active. I eat very healthy.

I've dealt with T-Cell Lymphoma for 18 years, diagnosed at the age of 28 and Im now 44 and it has gotten worse over the years and my skin is now longer responding to the UVB/UVA Photo Therapy. I had my first radiation treatment in May. There is nothing "LOW GRADE" about this cancer!!!

[ourmodestfamily]

I went to my doctor in July as I had had a 3inch lump in my neck for 8 weeks, which is still there. I was diagnosed with B-Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, this week, but they think it is low grade, but need to do another biopsy to make sure. The doctor said that itching skin and night sweats are not part of the symptoms, but I have read so much that says it is. I feel tired all the time and generally feel unwell. I can't sleep due to pain in my hips and anxiety due to diagnosis. At the moment they are going to watch and wait.

Three years after I was diagnosed with Sjorgrens in 2010, I got the low-grade lymphoma in my salivary gland. I needed 17 radiation treatments. Four or five years after my first diagnosis, I got it again in my salivary gland on the right side of my face. I only needed 2 radiation treatments. Now it's 2023, I'm about due for my third lymphoma journey. I'll be 73 years old.
I had to get new health insurance, and now I have to pay $394 a month due to this low-grade damn lymphoma.
The first time I had the biopsy and went to a cancer doctor, he told me I had the best cancer to have. I don't think any cancer Is the best to have. I've been cursed. Damn Sjorgrens. Everything with my body is very dry. I guess it's better than Lupus.

HOW MANY YEARS YOU LIVE AFTER CHEMO. WITH LOW GRADE LYMPHOMA????

[spookily]

I have to put pressure on too feel my nodes in neck they have normal characteristics just infection isn’t gone had it for 2 months they’re a little smaller

[Nina_banana]

I am really worried. The lymph node on my neck has been swelling for at least 4 months now, and I also had mononucleosis two years ago. Ever since then my health hasn’t been as good and I get tired a lot easily.
My doctor did an ultrasound and a blood test. And according to him it is not lymphoma or hypothyroidism. The blood test shows that my blood platelet count and lymphocytes is pretty normal. And the ultrasound shows that my biggest lymph node in the area is only 6mm. But I would like to point out that I am less than 5 ft, so I think that 6mm is relatively big for my body size.
I was wondering if I should insist on taking a biopsy even if my doctor said that the result from the blood test and ultrasound indicates that I don’t have lymphoma.

This seems to be more common with older people? How about those who took the polio "sugar cube". They are at higher risk. What's worse, they knew this was a potential from the R. monkey cells used.

[jesusitrustinyou]

I have just been diagnosed at 38 and doctors said usually it happens at 60-70

[imansafeen]

The only thing she found was lumps? Did she feel the usual symptoms like night sweats, fever, extreme fatigue, etc??
