My mother was recently informed after a PET scan she has a mass in her stomach - unfortunately the results went amiss and it was 2.5 weeks until we finally got informed of this. She was then referred to the cancer unit and we were informed there is the mass in the stomach and another nodule in the neck, vertebrae and bladder. So next step was to do a biopsy on the neck which took place and results were given as low follicular lymphoma for the neck. Last week they decided there should also be a biopsy on the stomach and this is scheduled for Monday, 3 September with a follow-up appointment on 12 September (not necessarily with results of biopsy as they can take 10 days!!!) I'm very concerned that no treatment has yet been given and there are such delays. I've stressed this to the clinical nurse who has told me not to worry but that on 12 September if no results they might prescribed steroids to help shrink the lymphoma. Am I right to be seriously concerned that no treatment/chemotherapy has started yet? She has been ill since early July and the PET scan was done after an endoscopy and CT scan on 19 July!
