Hello, I am called gidget. I am 46yrs old and I am a patient at the lymphoma clinic at MDACC in Houston, Texas. I was wondering if anyone else on the board had hyperplasia dx prior to becoming full blown lymphoma with severe "B" symptoms. I also have severe bone and spinal pain. In the last few weeks I have noticed these knotts in both of my lower legs and these knotts are growing in size. Do not know if they are in my muscle or coming from bone. I will be showing my onc next week these areas in question, I also have lymphadema from the waist down. I had an enlarged thymus removed a year ago and am in w/w stage.I thank you for taking time to read this and if you are experincing any of this or know anyone with this please share with me I need your input.
