My brother 45, has just been diagnosed with High grade Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma of Immunoblastic Type. His symptoms were unexplained fever and abdominal pain going on for 4 months. CT scan identified swollen periaortic and iliac lymph nodes the largest of which (4.2 cm) was surgically removed last week for biopsy. Today, 4 days after the diagnostic surgery he had the first appointment with his doctor. He will have a PET scan and a bone marrow biopsy on Monday.
