Orbital lymphoma

Hi....just recieved a diagnosis of orbital lymphoma grade one that causing double vision....not a diagnosis that I was expecting...it taken over 6 months back and forth to the eye clinic Pet scan was in mid December and just received results last Friday dont know how I feel and what to expect...know I be having radiotherapy but dont know how many or for how long. I been off work for a while because of the double vision and dont know how long I be expected treatment before I go back...must admit i am feeling quite a fruad as i dont feel ill and it's only causing double vision and i feel i should be ok and working

Same time as double vision started was getting fatigue and muscle tiredness and now getting quite ichy and feeling nauseous..especially after drinking any form of liquids including water..should I be weary of this...also pre menopausal and have meningioma so could be reading more into things as could be either of them too

 

Thanks Mary x
