Community Member
4 days agoHello Stephanie here, I was diagnosed the 6th of November with Aggressive B cell lymphoma i went to ED for my back hurting after a long shift at work. Found a mass the size of a lemon on my L5. I was in the hospital for two weeks where I under went my first chemo treatment and lumbar puncture where they are putting in methotrexate to keep it from putting pressure on my spinal cord. I will get the LP after every chemo. My chemo is RCHOP.
