Hello,

I'm totally new to all this. I have been diagnosed with a lymphoma growing in my eye socket & between my eyes on my forehead. All happened very fast, never really been sick before. Noticed in June, went to see docs in Sept and everything took off in Oct. Waiting for biopsy result now wondering what on earth will happen next.

Anyone else got anything like me?

Regards

Karen

    Hello Carol

    Thank You,

    I have a lovely picture in my head of you sitting in your sun lounge looking at the view. I went out for a lovely walk with the hubby at our local National Trust house today.Not done that for a while the Autumn Leaves were beautiful.got some nice photos on my phone to look at when I'm having treatment.good things to remember and look forward to again when all is done. 

    I was thinking of you too. I do not understand how they can leave you without treatment. I find that so sad. Hope it does not make things worse for you.

    Hello Carol, Sadly no result. Report has discrepancies so has had to go to the top histopathologist in Belfast Royal Victoria for further testing. Def a malignant lymphoma, poss a marginal zone but other things don't fit. More testing this week may have something Thursday. But apparently everyone waiting to pounce on me once definitive diagnosis confirmed. Oh don't they just love anything out of the norm Trying to stay cool about it but not easy. Keeping busy with anything and everything to pass the time. How are you today, anything coming up for you? Bet the weather is getting wild down there with you now. So love the crashing waves in the winter. All the best Karen
