You are here:
My wife passed away August of 2002 after we were married for just over a year and a half. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer a week to the day after we wed. Please limit questions to this particular cancer, and I can pretty much find resources for you if you are having problems finding what you need. I can also offer advice on how to deal with the emotional strains and things along this line. In all, I can be an ear when you need someone to listen, or a shoulder to lean or cry on. I CAN NOT ANSWER DOCTOR QUESTIONS ABOUT CONDITIONS OR SUCH AS I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I am only knowledgeable in the basics of the cancer (especially lymphoma) and what to expect and other questions like this.
I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND DO NOT ANSWER DOCTOR QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately many don't seem to read this part and I continue to get questions I can not answer. I can ONLY answer general questions regarding cancer and specifically Lymphoma.
Not applicable
There is nothing to like about cancer.
As much as possible.

I don't like your doctors answer. If this has been present for a month, it needs to get checked. I would either tell the doctor to do some tests or a biopsy to see what it IS, or get another doctor who
My first question would be what the doctor told you it was and what tests he did. Second, did YOU ask HIM/HER if there was a possibility of cancer? My personal thought is that is probably not cancer as
I do not have a lot of knowledge in the genetic area of cancer but I found a site that should be able to answer any questions you might have about the types and methods of testing as well as any other
As I state in my profile, I am not a doctor and do not answer questions that a doctor can answer better than myself. I was fascinated by this question though and did a little research. I found one article
You are wise to have it checked out. As to what it could be, it COULD be any one of dozens of things from as simple as an upper respiratory infection (which you would not necessarily be aware of) to cancer
