My mum has recently been diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. Breast cancer was originally suspected but biopsy's have revealed it's in the lymph nodes in her armpit.
This is all we know - we don't know what type or stage as yet. So far the only tests she has had done were the mammogram and ultrasound.
Her next appointment is with a haematologist. She has been told blood tests will be done but other than that we don't know what to expect from this appointment.
My question is, can anyone give any insight in to what to expect from haematologist? Next steps? Will she need a scan? What are the timescales? Likely treatment?
Can they tell the type/stage from the biopsy's? Trying very hard to get mum to engage with hospital - to call and ask more questions but having little luck as she's just not wanting to deal with it.
I know everyone's experiences will be different but very grateful to anyone who reads this and can give me any information. Thank you
