Hi,
I’m new to this group and macmillan community. At only 27 years old I think I’m still in denial that all this is really going on. I was diagnosed with NHL back in middle of September. After having a cough for over a month they discovered a tumour in my right lung. It’s been a whirlwind of treatments (of which I’ve had quite severe reactions to.)
I have a CT scan next week, the routine post 4th round of chemo check-up, and I’m nervous about the results. I was wondering about other people’s experiences after this review; good and bad.
Having a tumour in my lung, I don’t get to see how it’s shrunk or changed, this scan is the first time I’ll find out how my treatment is fairing. Just looking for a little reassurance really.
K xx
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us.
I am Mike Thehighlander and I help our around our various NHL forums. Am I correct in thinking that you did not have a scan as part of your diagnosis as this would be compared with the mid treatment scan........ but your team will have a good understanding what they will be looking for, from my 20 years living with and being treated for my rare type of NHL these treatments are very effective so expect things to be good.......but if there are any issues there are lots of tools in the Heamatology’s tool box to deal with it.
