Sucks man. Cancer doesn't have an age limit, it can hit anyone at anytime.
Hope all goes well.

Yes, that is true. They have found an association of HIV with lymphoma, but it's nothing to worry about. Just procedure now since they have seen increased incidences in individuals with HIV. I was just making sure cause you had typed hive instead of HIV.Originally Posted by breezylocks

i dont even smoke...
this is all i know until i see a specialist on monday...
RIP?
update:
just got home...
smh i have lymphoma which is a type of cancer.
i have to have a biopsy for further details on it.
he said its curable but doesnt know how to cure it until the biopsy... doesnt know what caused it until the biopsy
but its cancer.
i have to have a pet scan now... and had blood work done for hive and stuff...
at 22 i never thought i would have this feelsbadman
Yes, 22 is very young. But, leukemias and lymphomas are cancers that have been shown to have higher incident rates in the young compared to other cancers, which usually are diseases of the old.
Just wait for the biopsy results and until then you can do your own research on the disease.
He didn't tell you any other info? I mean I guess you will have to wait until the biopsy and blood results, but if you can provide any other info that would be helpful to us so that we can try to give you advice.
The PET scan will provide them with a lot of useful information about the exact diagnosis. Providing them with images, structural information, stage, and the tumor's affects on near by tissues. It will also be used to assess if you have any other solid tumors in your body. Since it is a lymphoma, static lymphoid tumors can metastasize and arise throughout the body, from circulating cancerous blood cells. So this will be a good diagnostic tool for them to do on you.
Do you mean test for HIV with the blood work? They will also assess other information from the blood work too, about the cancer, etc...
Keep your head up man. Things will turn out for the best.
real life...they checked me for hiv because some people get it from thatand other stds just in case i have to go through chemo...
Speaking of chemo- certain lymphomas are highly responsive to chemotherapy due to their super rapid growth, and also certain ones can be treated really successfully. So that's good news.
I added these edits to my last post, which you have quoted.
Edit: When I say throughout the body I mean they usually stay in the lymphatic tissues, so like at a lymph node in your lung may be and it might spread to another connecting node. Metastasis might be the wrong term for me to use. Trying to clarify so that you wont worry. Cause you shouldn't. If anything that information is actually a good thing.
Edit: I can't really comment on anything further without knowing more information.
Edit: I'll try to clarify things for you if you don't understand what the doc is saying, and I will give you advice when it comes to possible treatment options, but I will NOT comment on anything related to a prognosis, or anything remotely related.

Stay up. My best friend had it when we were in elementary school and he was sick for about a year. Then he was all good and earlier this year they thought they found it again. I had never felt so bad in my life. Thankfully he didn't have it and it was just phlegm buildup from strep. Keep your head up and you'll beat it.

Serious Advice. Go to Canada. Stay for a few days and then admit yourself to the hospital. Universal healthcare for the win.

Good luck man. This is one of the more curable forms from what I understand. Two friends I knew in college that I played ball with were both diagnosed with lymphoma - both of them went into remission and they're doing great. So the odds are in your favor imo!
