Diagnosed on Friday with type B Lymphoma

Hello everyone, 

followng a CT scan at my local hospital , I was initially thought to have a Leiomysarcoma type tumuour which has invaded much of my lower abdomen and was dangerously close to both my inferior vena carva and aorta major blood vessels. I was told this would require major surgery. however, following my referral and a subsequent biopsy it has now been confirmed that the large tumour mass is a type B Lymphoma. 

I don't know anything about this cancer type so I would be grateful if anyone has any information about what sort of treatment I should expect.and what sort of outcome i can hope for ....

Thanks all

    Six weeks ago I went to my doctor with a lump on my neck, that had been there for 8 weeks. Within two weeks I had, had bloods done, CT, Ultrasound and biopsy. Two weeks later the results came back inconclusive so went off to specialist team for testing which took another two weeks. Yesterday I was told I have B-cell Lymphoma. Like you I don't know anything about it. I am due to see the haematology team next week to discuss Chemo. Hope all is well with you.
