  • Hi Lynne .

    This is the link you are looking for Questions to ask your medical team about Lymphoma

    These are the basic questions you need answered:

    What type of condition has been diagnosed? - exact name and grade etc.

    What are the proposed treatments Chemo, Radiotherapy......?

    What are the names of the Chemo Regime?

    How many cycles of Chemo and how long will each cycle last?

    Does this require inpatient time (over night)

    How many sessions of Radiotherapy and how long will all the treatments take?

    Remember to express any reservations about treatments........ an example - I have Thoratic & Lumber Spondylosis - Spinal Osteoarthritis so I found out in the early stages of my radiotherapy that I had to take some pain killers an hour before I had my treatments as I found it hard and painful to lay on the radiotherapy table for long periods of time.
