Before the doctors can plan your treatment, they need to assess the extent of the lymphoma. The bone marrow biopsy will help with this, There may be other tests required as well. Once the doctors have all the information they need, they will review you and decide what the best option is to manage your lymphoma. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) with doctors from different sorts of medical specialities are usually involved.
If you've been allocated a specialist nurse at the hospital, they would be the best person to contact to find out when you can expect to hear about your tests and what is planned. If you know the name of the consultant involved, you can contact the hospital to pass a message on to them through their secretary - the hospital switchboard should be able to put him through.
