Has anyone ever seen a lymphoma tumor this big (approximate size 8x12 inches). Location is under the left arm- inflammation of the lymph nodes (type- Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma) Patient is a woman in her seventies- no other health issues.-. Patient is now undergoing a CHOP serious- initial treatment started 3 weeks ago- second treatment schedule Monday. After one treatment tumor has become softer with a possible tiny adjustment in size. Patient feels good- hair is just begun to fall out. Seeking anyone with knowledge of tumor reaction, patient reaction, what to expect, hospitals, and Doctors, would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, and wow again. How did that get to that size without prior treatment? I am glad she is not in pain but that has to be uncomfortable. The best advice is ask questions of her treatment doctors, and support groups like this one are good to find out how others are dealing with treatment, etc. God Bless and I hope she is sucessful in shrinking this. Keep us posted.
