hi again honey, the best info i can share with you about B cell lymphoma is that each case is very individual. on your diagnostic report, there will be all kinds of info that can help you classify which of the dozen subtypes a person can have. it depends on genetic markers, histology, location, morphology, t-cell involvement, etc. if anyone responds with their own story, that is something to really keep in mind, each case is very individualized. the words themselves of "large b cell lymphoma" is a blanket type of diagnosis that can mean a lot of different treatments and prognoses. i will be more than happy to talk with you privately about this, i am sure no expert, all i am good for is research, ive done a lot of it! but you seem like you are good at that yourself. let me know if there is anything i can help with.

My prayers are with you. I don't have b cell lymphoma. I don't think anyhow. I have tumors everywhere. They just tell me they are benign and most women have them. They haven't even biopsied them. The doctor says take this low dose chemo in pill for the rest of your life. I'm 47. The chemo puts me to bed so I quit taking it. I want to feel better. I went through the swelling, hair loss, mental changes, cushings syndrome, adrenalectomy and hysterectomy but doctors tell me even though all this started after the implants that IT IS NOT THE IMPLANTS, THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. It's like they are drones or something. None of them will say that the implants caused the problems! Thank you for telling your story. I know I'm not alone. I'm not sure what my next step should be but you are in my prayers doll!

I'm so sorry, how scary this all must be for you. I'm not sure if this is something you want to try but an acquaintance of ours shared a shake mix he used when he was diagnosed with cancer of the liver. I know he was only supposed to live a few months but 4 years later he gave us his recipe for shakes he used that he believed kept him alive. Here is his recipe: (He drank this twice a day) in a juicer 3-4 carrots, 2 Tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, handful of fresh spinach, 1 apple & AHCC mushroom complex. I have been thinking of trying this lately, I just do not feel well. I haven't been to doctor I'm just trying to eat healthy and do healthy things but something is not right with me. I am tired, I am weak, I struggle to get through the day, my lymph nodes hurt and are on and off swollen for past couple weeks. I have had saline implants for 9 years, but I am reading that they can get fungus and bacteria that can make you sick and also the exterior shell is silicone so I imagine if silicone isn't healthy that even this exterior laying in my body does the same damage with health. Even if my implants have nothing to do with my not feeling well I still want them out. My body regularly has muscle spasms against them, after 9 years my body is still saying these don't belong! With the shake the only thing I'm not sure about is the mushroom complex. I'm trying to read about it to make sure its safe, reviews are saying it has helped boost immunity for those fighting cancer. I would think if it helped for that it would help to fight all illnesses but I guess I don't know for sure. I also don't know if there is a certain kind you are supposed to buy. I know the guy had written down AHCC mushroom immunity complex but I wouldn't know how to find him today. I do see this product on amazon, its spendy and doesn't have a lot of reviews, but the reviews it does have are good. Anyways, thought I'd share in case it was something you'de like to try, prayers to you.

I know it can be very confusing if you don't have any symptoms! I had a friend who was told he had leukemia, but he felt 100% healthy! He didn't start getting any symptoms for about 5 years! I had never heard of such a thing at that time! I don't know if this will help, but I did a Google search by typing "Can you have lymphoma without any symptoms" and this is one website I found: http://www.cancer-forums.net/can-you-have-lymphoma-without-any-symptoms-t124240.html. I know you want to know everything you can about YOUR diagnosis, so you're asking other people to give you any information they may have, but please remember that each person's body is different and not everyone will have the same symptoms or results from whatever medical treatment their doctor suggests. If I was told I had cancer, I would be researching and doing the same thing you are, but please remember that your doctor knows YOUR situation, just as your PS did, so it's important you talk to him/her about what's happening in YOUR body and go from there. Sadly, everyone knows someone who's had some kind of cancer and can tell you all kinds of stories. After a while, if you hear too many of those stories, it will just get very confusing. I'd say that the best thing to do is listen to YOUR oncologist, ask questions and go from there. Just like you did when you were researching your explantation. Otherwise, there's the danger of "information overload" and you will begin to feel overwhelmed by so much information and you'll still feel confused and stressed out. Try to step back a little bit, take a breath and AFTER your appt with your oncologist you will be armed with more information. That way you can make a more informed decision on any treatments you may need in the future. I'll be thinking of you, Snugglens and I hope you stay symptom-free for a very, very long time. [RS bleep]
