Hi -
My mother had non-hodgson's lymphoma. I think it is excellent that you are going for a CT scan and getting the results immediately. My mother did not have any itching symptoms. She did have stomach problems and other symptoms for a few years before hand. Unfortunately, she did not have good doctors, and they missed the diagnosis for a few years. By the time she was diagnosed, she was in stage 3-4, which was not good. If you do have lymphoma, go to the best doctors you can find - especially for any type of treatment you choose - my mom had chemo. She got an infection which shut down her organs. My family, to this day, believe the doctors were somewhat responsible for her passing. Whatever the prognosis, please do your research. Bring a pad of paper and pen with all your questions, plus you can write down all information. I would not jump to any conclusions. Easy for my to say - right? Please keep me updated - I look forward to hearing from you!
