Cancer is a very strong history in our family. Pls hhelp
I very well understand your worry. A PET CENT whole body and biopsy is required for diagnosis, type of lymphoma and staging work up. Along with it a bone marrow biopsy might be required .so this will guide in giving further treatment in form of chemo and radiation.my advice is that don't delay treatment as lymphoma is curable in 60 to 70 percent cases
