3 months agoI have been feeling so weak and nauseated feeling pressure in my abdomen. I had a complete hysterectomy in July 28th and had a hard recovery. Had a CT scan that showed moderate lymph nodein my abdomen. Dr.thought this was pending infection and inflammation. Had it rescheduled on March 2nd and they are enlarged with BX showing follicular large B-cell diffused lymphomas. Oncologist consult ordered. I am so scared. I had a blood clot in my brain when I was 36. Had a craniotomy and then developed epilepsy. Had a PFO. Closure. Now this. I don’t know how much more I can take. I literally feel like I am dying some days. I am afraid or what they are going to tell me. I also moved to Florida. Is Moffit the best place to go?

8 days agoI know how scary it all is. I did it alone with my 2 yr old grandson. It was so hard. I was so sick but the chemo took all the sick away. I'll have cancer forever but my hair never fell out and I never threw up. They also gave me a port for immunotherapy with the chemo. I went from 190 lbs of lymphatic swelling to 135 lbs after my first chemo. Shrunk so fast. I felt amazing afterwards mine is NHL follicular. There are 79 different NHL cancers. They are all so different. Mine is blood cancer that is easy to treat but life long. I eat better now and I quit smoking and I walk. I cut out sugar and I fast some too. May God give you comfort & peace. Pray and pray with others. When 2 or more come together in prayer, he is there. God bless you honey. Stay strong. Fear is a liar.
