Last Thursday (Sept 4th), my mom was told that there’s a good chance she has Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She hasn’t seen a specialist yet, and there’s a chance she doesn’t, but looking at the pathology report, it seems more likely than not (as you can see here):
This isn’t the best news one could get, but on the brightside it’s not the worst cancer there is. Right now we’re all taking it day by day, as we still need to get more information (she has a follow up appt later this month). What we do know is that the surgery she had three years ago for a mass in her leg and an enlarged Thymus gland seems to have been precursors to this and should have been caught then.
At this point we’re all doing all the research we can on this disease, so if anyone out there has gone through it and has some advice, feel free to comment!
