'a day or two'?! I've been waiting for over 3 weeks with the nhs, huh :C

If whatever you have is rare it can take serveral biopsies to reveal the Lymphoma.I developed tumours on my hand causing the amputation of my finger and it was only after 3 biopsies that the cause was discovered; Mycosis Fungoides a rare t cell Lymphoma often misdiagnosed as ezecma and psoriasis in it's early non tumour stages as indeed had I been so diagnosed prior to the tumour stage.

This is so helpful! Thank you very much. I had my 45 days post chemotherapy PETScan last week. On Tuesday I follow it up with a meeting with my oncologist. And I’m bringing along my brother and his wife to the meeting since they were both with me from the beginning throughout my cancer journey. What will the oncologist tell us I wonder. 🧐🧐🧐🧐 Hmmmm !

I don't know what is happening, one consultant said the lymphoma above my eye should be done before the thyroid carcinoma but the other consultant said it's the other way round , at the moment I'm very stressed ,we have tried to phone their secretaries by we still don't know what's happening
