Does my 4 year antiquated son own non hodgkin's lymphoma?
The doctor has ordered bloodwork and wishes to "wait and see". The glands contained by his neck are the size of golf ball, his energy is low, he is blond and his appitite is almost not existent. Have any of you ever experienced this or have any info on any other symptoms to scrutinize for?
Answers: Leave it to the doctor but if he thought it was really serious he would put him in hospital straight away.
I am a non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma merciful.
The symptoms are mainly those, except for the appetite..mine have improved, but I've get slimmer.
Other symptoms can be itching and in some cases darkness sweats, witch I don't have..even so. I've been diagnosed 3 years ago. It might be at variance with children, I'm not sure.
My support to you would be to see an Oncologist, just within case.
Perhaps it's simply an infection. Please wait for your doctor. He'll make clear to you if there's reason to be concerned. But to answer your quiz, you should look out for nonspecific symptoms like frenzy, night sweats and mass loss. These are very adjectives in lymphoma but also found surrounded by other diseases. The only bearing to diagnose lymphoma is through a biopsy. We prefer the excision or incision because the sample will other be adequate for interpretation by the pathologist.

Sometimes it's difficult to let somebody know them apart. Immunostains will be very adjectives for cases like these. After the diagnosis is confirmed, you'll be advise on treatment options. Again, nearby are many option for each type of lymphoma. Yes, lymphoma can be cured. God bless!
