I am a new nonhodgkins lymphoma stage 2 patient. I would love to visit with others that are in the processs of treatment. Carol
Hi , my father is corrrectly being diagnosed with NHL case of stage III. He has large B cell type lymphoma , with swelling in neck area. He is receiving his 4th chemotherapy , and is fit from exterior. How many chemo shots youhave undertaken. Can you please share your experience ?
I was not aware that the NHL can arise in the brain. I thought that the brain area was a priviledged site, an area that is in no contact with our immune system [blood and lymphatics]. Please explain further.
Frequent use of phenoxyacetic acid herbicides, in particular, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, has been associated with 2- to 8-fold increases of NHL in studies conducted in Sweden, Kansas, Nebraska, Canada, and elsewhere.
