My husband has a appointment with a heamatologist specialising in lymphoma on 17th March. This is his first appointment since having CTS, biopsy and Echocardiogram. Apparently this appointment is to tell him what cancer he has and stage etc
What are the questions we should be asking
They are saying without diagnosis it is lymphoma please help
Hi Gallop2024
I can see that you posted in this group 11 days ago and had a lovely reply from Thehighlander. I can't add anything to what he's already said so if you'd like to re-read it just click here.
As for what questions to ask, Macmillan have this list of what you could ask about lymphoma which you could use.
Hi again Gallop2024
I see you were posting in our Hodgkins Lymphoms group so I put up a reply there but this is a copy of the links I put up.
These will help you get ready for the 17th
Top tips for getting the best from your appointments
Questions to ask your medical team about Lymphoma
When it comes to staging…. Staging in Lymphoma is rather different and unlike most other cancers like Kidney, Lung, Breast….. where a high stage number like stage 4 is a poor prognosis, in Lymphoma it’s not. I was stage 4a back in 2013 and it made no difference to my outcomes.
Staging in Lymphomas identifies
1) Where the Lymphoma is presenting in the body (it can be anywhere)
2) What is the best treatment approach and best treatment type for your presentation
3) How long your treatment needs to be.
Any other questions you have just ask them on this thread until you know what type of Lymphoma he has and we can get you into the best group ((hugs))
Thank you I have made a list of questions this is scary
