Possible lymphoma

Hi, I posted awhile ago as I went to see an orthopaedic surgeon for a leg trauma, he ordered an MRI which showed a suspected sarcoma in my thigh and I was referred to a bone tumour unit at a different hospital under the 2 week wait, once the MDT tram has reviewed my MRI results they called to say, it’s more likely to be a lymphoma and they organised a biopsy, which I had last Tuesday, I’m now waiting for the results and I’m so so scared as I don’t know what to expect , has anyone else been in this situation

thanks

  • Hi Solo

    sorry to hear you’re going through this at the moment. I have had lymphoma, and am currently in remission so would be more than happy to discuss things with you.

    i would say probably best to wait until you have all the results and information to hand before diving headfirst into things. Try to relax as best you can, and don’t overthink the worst before it gets there (believe me - it’s not always as bad as you think!)

    thank you so much for your reply, I have now had my biopsy results and i have relaxed a tiny bit, it has been confirmed as a lymphoma, so I’ve been transferred to the hospital, I have my first appointment at there at the lymphoma clinic next Wednesday and don’t know what to expect,

  • Hi Solo.

    very sorry to hear this but the most important thing is not to panic. I know this isn’t about me at all but for some context -

    I was diagnosed with one of the most aggressive forms of Lymphoma at an advanced stage back in December 2021, and after successful treatment have a clean bill of health now.

    take a pad and a pen with you to the appointment to take some notes but do get plenty of rest and if you need to chat, feel free to message me
