  • Hi Linda  and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am always sorry to see folks joining us. I am Mike and I help out around our various Lymphoma groups.

    I was having a look back your posts and see that you have had a bumpy road over the past months.

    A scan is normally done about 4-6 weeks after treatment is completed then a few weeks wait for results...... if you have a number for a Cancer Specialist Nurse (CNS) give them a call and ask.

    Always around to help more or just to chat.

  • Thank you. I have mostly been following the cervical cancer group(as that was my first diagnosed cancer); my Lymphoma was diagnosed about 3 months later and not connected to the cervical cancer, so, as you said, it's been a bumby ride! 

  • Yes you have been unlucky having two cancers ….. Lymphoma is Lymphoma and is not connected to any other cancer types.

    The treatments used (R-CHOP?) are very effective for in doing the job so let’s look for a good scan result ((hugs))
