Yes, if not reated! you may want to proceed with MD or better with MD and someone who practices alternative medicine, such as naturopath or acupuncturist.  this way you will not suffer from side effects of allopathic treatment, and may be able to restore your immune system and your total health.\nPlease make sure the alternative care provider that you choose, is trained or at least well experienced with the treatment of malignant diseases.

It totally depends on how people get treated for it, though attitude definitely helps.  Those who fight with knowledge and are able to laugh through the hard times seem to survive more.  I've seen people with lymphomas who are still going strong after 5-10 years.

Here are some good websites for reading:\n\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/leukemia/article.htm\nhttp://www.leukemia.org/hm_lls\nhttp://www.leukemia-research.org/\n\nI recently had a coworker that was concerned about lymphoma.  Good Luck!

The word should be leukemia. If your uncle has diagnosis of this disease, the first thing the hematologist will do is to assess a procedure called "bone marrow biopsy", the purpose of this simple surgical procedure is to check the patient's varies of white blood cell, lymphocytes, B & T cells, neutrophils, granulocytes, to determine what stage of cells that attacking its own immune system. Then the hematologist can assess chemo therapy or sometimes if the patient 's condition is fit for bone marrow transplant and there are a match for his type, then the cure rate is likely higher. If your uncle is in New York, have health insurance and prefer a spanish-speaking doctor, I think we can help your uncle.

WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Also known as Hodgkin’s disease, Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a form of cancer found in the body’s lymphatic tissue. The lymphatic system helps filter out bacteria and is important in fighting diseases.  \n\nPiper was sent home early from WWE’s early-November tour of the United Kingdom and hospitalized for surgery, where doctors removed a mass at the spinal cord with an enlarged lymph node. The mass was completely removed, but the lymph node was positive for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. \n\nRadiation therapy is used to treat Hodgkin’s lymphoma; it is an extremely successful procedure, so the prognosis is very good for Piper.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy - this is a very rare condition caused by a virus & it usually only occurs in people with AIDs or who received organ transplants. If you don't have AIDs & have never received a transplant - I'd get a 2nd opinion.\n\nPML is like another disease, multiple sclerosis, but it progresses faster. Do some research on MS to learn about it.

You should see an endocrinologist.  I doubt that it is cancer, but something glandular is going on?  Are the lymph nodes in your armpits swollen also?\n\nAlso, are you male or female?  Can you clench your teeth?\n\nYou should definitely see at doctor soon.  I think you're a bit young for hodgkins or any other lymphoma.  But it could be something serious (but curable).  Plus, hopefully you've had a mumps vaccination.  This is a symptom of mumps but if you were vaccinated when you were a child you will be protected from this.  However, there is an outbreak of mumps recently, so make sure you check whether you have received it or not. \n\nIf your doctor won't see you today or soon, you should probably see another doctor.  Even at 17, you have to take charge of your own health and well-being.

Over three years ago my partner was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (a kind of leukemia of the lymphatic system) after unknown fevers lasting ten years.  She was given a poor prognosis.\n\nWe included Apricot kernels (and other nitriloside sources) as part of a natural approach to controlling this ‘medically incurable’ disease.  We took a three fold approach, reducing stress on the immune system, removed environmental toxic agents and maintaining a diet containing all ninety+ essential nutrients.\n\nWe included a source of B17.  This B17 nitriloside substance is found in many foods other than apricot seeds.  Most of these foods are uncommon in western diets.\n\nThree years on my partner has not objective evidence of the disease.\n\nI also consumed apricot seeds and increased my essential nutrients.  I had keretotic lesions drop off the backs of my hands and no new ones have returned.  Before this I was having these keretosis removed on a a regular basis.\n\nFoods containing Nitriolside B17…\n\nFruits                                Range*\nblackberry, domesticlow\nblackberry, wild                high\nboysenberry                med.\nchoke cherry                high\nwild crabapple                high\nmarket cranberry                low\nSwedish (lignon) cranberryhigh\ncurrant                                med.\nelderberry                med. to high\ngooseberry                med.\nhuckleberry                med.\nloganberry                med.\nmulberry                                med.\nquince                                med.\nraspberry                                med.\n \nSeeds                                Range*\napple seeds                high\napricot seed                high\nbuckwheat                med.\ncherry seed                high\nflax                                med.\nmillet                                med.\nnectarine seed                high\npeach seed                high\npear seeds                high\nplum seed                high\nprune seed                high\nsquash seeds                med.\n \nBeans                                Range*\nblack                                low\nblack-eyed peas                low\nfava                                high\ngarbanzo                                low to med.\ngreen pea                low\nkidney                                low to med.\nlentils                                med.\nlima, U.S.                                low\nlima, Burma                med.\nmung                                med. to high\nshell                                low\n \nNuts (all raw)                Range*\nbitter almond                high\ncashew                                low\nmacadamia                med. to high\n \nSprouts                                Range*\nalfalfa                                med.\nbamboo                                high\nfava                                med.\ngarbanzo                                med.\nmung                                med.\n \nLeaves                                Range*\nalfalfa                                high\nbeet tops                                low\neucalyptus                high\nspinach                                low\nwater cress                low\n \nTubers                                Range*\ncassava                                high\nsweetpotato                low\nyams                                low\n \nRange*       1000 mg ( milligrams ) = 1 gram \nHigh — above 500 mg nitriloside per 100 grams of food. \nMedium — above 100 mg nitriloside per 100 grams of food. \nLow — below 100 mg nitriloside \n\nNatural sources of Nitriloside contain co-factors that can be more effective than the isolated form.\n\nI hope this helps to answer you question...

There is no such disease in the medical literature.\n\nThere is however a fictional account of somebody with Reuben's disease:\n\nhttp://nothorse.org/archives/Fullstory

diet and exercise alone should be enough for a very mild version of disease, I would recommend you to consider systemic immuno suppresive therapy if symptoms are persisting or getting worse, good luck

Real-time polymerase chain reaction (detecting a fusion gene may provide differential diagnosis in certain leukemias).\nAutomated fluorescent in situ hybridization (same as above)\n\nBut I believe you've meant something else. I am not aware of any automated diagnostic algorithm softwares, and there shouldn't be any. Be aware of technologic tenesmus! Use your mind!

My FIL was diagnosed with this just 8 days ago, so I've been learning a lot.  It travels in a similar way to blood cancer (Leukimia).  It moves through the lymph system in your body.  Since you have lymph nodes through out your body, it can easily and quickly spread from one area to the next.  It can be very aggressive, but there is proof that it does respond better to treatment than it's cousing, Non-Hodgkins.

I am sorry to hear about health scare.  Your said that your doctor is suspicious, so try not to worry too much before you get the actual diagnosis.  You may have something less serious.  Don't do too much research before you know what you have; its confusing and scary.  I had Hodgkins last lear.  My doctor told me he was pretty sure I had lymphoma, so I tried researching it. I got all kinds of info, most of which didn't apply to me. I ended up giving myself an unnecessary scare.\n\nTo answer your other questions: Yes it is possible to recover! I am in full remission now! The good thing about hodgkins is that it is easier to put in remission than many other cancers and it tends to stay gone longer than many other cancers.  Lots of people don't have it ever come back.  When its gone for five years, it is not very likely to come back.  Many people call themselves "cured" then.\n\nMy blood counts were normal at diagnosis too, many peoples are.  My only symptoms were tiredness, which I thought was related to my hectic college schedule.\n\nLymphoma is a blood cancer, but the actual cancer is in your lymph nodes.  Lymphnodes fight off "invaders" that are carried to them by your blood.  If one lymphnode is infected, its very possible others are.  I found one lump under my collar bone, but scans showed a couple egg sized tumors of the nodes deep in my chest and a small tumor on the other side of my neck, which was too small to be felt.\nChemotherapy was kill all of them, and I only needed the minimal amount, though I did have to follow with some radiation to help kill the larger ones. \n\nThere is a really great support forum for lymphoma.  It helped me so much during my treatments; the people there were like my family.  Its at http://forums.webmagic.com if you wanna check it out Click on Lymphoma support.  \n\nTake care, and please email me with any other questions.  I'd love to hear from you.
