If any of you have this would you mind telling me the symptoms you had and how you went about to be diagnosed with it?
I've had on going problems for almost a year now and they are finally starting to think NHL and everytime I read someones story on this its almost my exact position. I may be 'young and naive' at the age of 17 but I've got a strong head on my shoulders and if I can push my doctors this far maybe they can finally figure something out.

Hi

I had no symptoms other than the lumps under my arm and in my neck. Just before my Chemotherapy began, my left arm started to swell due to the large tumour in my armpit. Other than that nothing, I didn't actually start to feel sick until I started chemo. It was a case of 3 biopsy's, one fine needle biopsy and 2 excisional biopsy's before the diagnosis came back as DLBCL. That took 5 months.


Good Luck and keep pushing
