Hi there,

On 10th December 2023, I was given the good news, my lymph nodes and spleen had shrunk sufficiently to be in remission.

A few days ago, I discovered a large swelling in my left breast. This is a new symptom.

Because of the holiday period, I haven't been able to get any advice.

My question is, has anyone else experienced this, and if so, was it caused by Waldenstroms, or by something else entirely?

  • Hi again  good to hear that you have received good news but frustrating that you now have an unexplained swelling. 

    Over the many years I have helped out on here and on the Lymphoma Action Support Platforms I have talked with many people who have had this problem in many areas of the body including the breast area.

    I am 8 years out from treatment and when I get an infection or a bug my lymph nodes will rise and fall.

    I hope you can get an appointment and get this checlectic out quickly.
