I was mis-diagnosed with hodgkins (cancer in your lymphnodes) or somehting like that when i was 18. weeks later, after tests, and $10k in bills, it turns out it was fluid from i cold i had recently had. anyway, during the couple weeks i did a ton of research and found out that this type of cancer is one of the most treatable. it didnt really make me feel too much better cause being in that situation is scary as ****.

bottom line is IF it even is cancer, its VERY treatable, and i was told this 7 years ago.

the technology and science these days is amazing, im sure your father will be just fine.

hang in there, everything will be alright.

 

I hope everything turns out O.K.... Hang in there buddy.

 

he's in my prayers john.

 

this makes me worried about a bump ive got on my arm... It's been there for awhile and I know im stupid for not getting it checked out. I think I had something go wacko with my lymph nodes or something like a year ago because alot of them had swollen up (some on my neck, arms, etc). But they all went back down after a few days/weeks, and I had 2 on the same spots on my arms stay for nearly a year, the other went away but the other is still there. I might go see what it is after reading this thread. I'm only 19 if that makes any difference and I've never had any serious medical troubles, but cancer does run in my family.

 

Thank you guys alot really, it makes a world of diff, more thn you would know until in this spot.. I surely hope it is just BS, but what are you sup to think in my spot.. Realy realy hard, the things that go threw ones mind.. I would def go get a check if you think somthings up.. i am still keeping the faith, hope that the good man makes things good.

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Stay Strong.

 

prayers with your family and you John, he will pull thru

and I would get that checked 00ChevyScott... as long as you have insurance why not?

 

hopefully all is well.. you and your dad will be in my prayers... i know when my pawpaw died was the first time i saw my dad cry alot and be down.. and after that i have been making sure i spend my time with my dad instead of friends and such cause you never know when the good man above tells them its time too go and i just want to not be one of those ppl wishing they'd told them they loved them etc etc before they went.... good luck john!

Prayers for your Pop! I hope it all turns out ok man.

 

Hang in there man, hope all turns out well. Had a case of lymphoma myself 3 years back, so I know what's going through your head. Like someone else said, if you ever do get a cancer, lymphoma is one of the better ones to get. Something like 95% success rate. I'm still around being a pain in the *** to everyone. But still, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Was he showing any other symptoms?
Night sweats, itchy skin, weight loss, fatigue?
