  I’ve read your message and my Lymphoma is nothing like yours. First, I’ve never had any swollen lymph nodes - anywhere. My family doc found some problems with my red blood cells during a routine check. He sent me to an Onocologist in high esteeme in the Medical profession. He found that I have a slow growing Lymphoma, put me on some meds & gave me a blood transfusion. I’m now age 86 and feeling pretty good for an old...

  I wish that the public knew the ultimate effects of skin cancer on uncovered bodies in the 1930’s. Back then, from dawn to dusk, I was outside playing ball. No one knew. Now, I’m an old man and have to see me doc every year for cancer removal from face. Tell everyone you love that a tan isn’t cool. It will kill you. Captn Bill USNR (Ret)

  I’ve read your story but all that I can understand from it is that you have stomach cancer. Since I never went to Medical School I’ve not been able to understand all of your symbols listed so I wish you an swift and safe recovery. I have Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. I googled it and learned that I’m lucky that it’s not HODGINS Lymphoma.

  I don’t know exactly what chemicals my doc dripped into my body recently when I went thru several rounds of chemotherapy but I know my memory is failing somewhat, so much so that the CA DMV has cancelled my drivers license. I plan to sue them for its return.

  I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma two years ago. I’ve been on chemotherapy several times, only to become ill and hospitalized for same. My Onocologist then placed me on a new Med called Neukeran aka Chlorambucil. One 2 mg grams per day. I soon began feeling better and am singing Leukeran’s abilities to keep me off that chemotherapy. Leukerians bad side is it’s costs: $450 for one months supply. If you ...

  I have Non Hodgkin Lymphoma. Diagnosed two years ago. Am on a Chemo pill for it. What does "CHOP" mean? I've only seen that word here???? Bill Mattingly

  IMHO, you should see an Onocologist ASAP. He can do your blood analysis to determine if you do have Lymphoma. I have Lymphoma and that's how my doc discovered I had Lymphoma. Captn Bill

  You have the signs of lymphoma. The loss of weight; night sweats, & the enlarged lymph glands indicate the possibility of lymphonia. Same thing happened to me a year ago & my family doc recommended a cancer doc. I saw him & after blood tests, put me on IVs for two days. Then, again last week. So far, I'm o.k. with no additional symptoms. Bill
