I was diagnosed a year a go with low grade NHL. The consultant decided to take a "watch and wait" approach. I have recently experienced severe night sweats and know the lymphoma is in my bone marrow as I fell and broke my hip earlier in the year and pathology of the femur showed it to be present. Because of the start of night sweats I have been recalled to Oncology on Monday 9 January instead of March - my next appointment. I am really worried - i.e will they start treatment immediately, if so what - if it is chemo will I feel very ill and lose my hair etc.? I need to be around to look after my daughter's young children - and hopefully feel up to the task. Could low grade NHL change to high grade? (which I know is more likely to be curable). Any comments, encouraging or otherwise, will be very welcome as I am really worried, My husband passed away last year so I have a lot of time on my own to think about the future. I just long for more years.....
