Hi all...hope everyone is doing okHeart

I'm back as I'm not sure, but it looks like my Lymphoma is back it's just a guess but the signs are there. I won't be going to the family Doc til October as I also have something on the back of my neck and boob..

The lymphoedema is getting painful and I'm trying to keep active, to try and bring down the swelling in my leg and sitting for any length of time really aches..

I'm also worried about my sister as we already had my brother die from the evil disease not too long ago. This would be a double whammy if I find out the cancer is back...Slight frown

I hope you don't mind me ranting but don't have any one to talk with...

Blessings

  • Hi Debs  and yes this is a safe place to rant and clear your mind.

    Sorry to hear about your brother….. cancer can have a devastating effect in the family.

    As to your concerns about a possible relapse…… the advice my hospital team always gave me (I relapsed multiple times) was “…..call us as we would rather tell you things are ok than play catch up as things had developed”

  • Hi Clecker aka CarlWink

    Thanks for the kind words...I'm not a big poster myself, being posting on here has helped. Talking with others who know what I'm going through...

    I have to put up with my right leg swelling up so I look a little off balance! I hope things improve for you..Thumbsup

    Regards

  • Hi Debs

    I'm pretty new to this but have gone through chemo and am now waiting to see how long remission lasts. I keep an eye out for any signs so I know how distressing it is.

    There's not much I can do or say to help but just know that others are thinking about you and hoping for the best.

  • Hi cormac,

    Thanks for your kindness... it's just so frustrating as you know, thinking you might be ok, then finding out that you have to go back for more stuff!

    Making a call for an appointment would just bring it into reality and I don't feel ready to go just yet, but I know it has to be soon...

    Kindest regards
