When you were told you had Non Hodgki... - Non Hodgkin's Lym...
When you were told you had Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma were you given written information about the type of condition you had?
It was easy to understand in hindsight but I was in shock and couldn't take it in at the time.
My Heamatologist confirmed what I suspected and took immediate action.
I was first told that I had CLL and then after the second visit and blood work I was told that I had NHL. No other information.
it was fairly to easy to understand owing to my wife passing just 6 months before i had it.
I was mainly told about my treatment options. I had to do most of the research on-line.
I seem to recall being given general information about types of cancer, but nothing specific or detailed about the type of NHL I had.
I am on watch and wait, left the doctors after my treatment I had splenic marginal zone NHL, but 2 years later, I don't know what stage I was in at the time... he wasn't very informative, just pray all the time that it stays away
I was not given written information. However< I have an oncologist who gave me a very thorough discussion about my particular type of NHL, and how he would treat it. He answered any and all questions I had. Never made me feel like he was in a hurry.
