I%26#039;m facing a possible lymphoma diagnosis and I was wondering what they will do for a diagnosis. Are the white cells always high upon diagnosis or are they sometimes not? If I do have lymphoma, what can I expect from treatment?|||Here is a good site for you to read on lymphoma%26#039;s

I had diffuse large B cell Non-Hodgkin%26#039;s Lymphoma. I was treated with CHOP and Rituxan and radiation. I have been cancer free for 3.5 years now. The treatment was no fun, but it wasn%26#039;t THAT bad. I%26#039;m just happy to still be in the game.

I wish you all the best. Keep a positive attitude and don%26#039;t give up - that%26#039;s half the battle!|||i had hodgkins lymphoma, there were several different types of biopsy that they mentioned such as a lumber puncture, test my bone marrow but i had a lymphnode taken out of my neck to test it.

it depends on what type of lymphoma you have as there are different types of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. i had 3 different chemo drugs cant remember their names but i recall that one was bleomicine. i didnt loose all my hair but i was really tired all the time but i was never sick once which i was so relieved about although i did feel sick quite a lot. i hope everything goes well!
