Lymphoma Possibly

Smaerd · 07-10-2008, 02:01 PM

Well that persistant on and off swelling neck lymphnode is still swollen. My groin lymph nodes have slowly swollen too(noticed last night). I have no sign of pain or any outer infections.

I am told this is a sure sign of lymphoma. Any other options or input? Doctors appointment tomarrow... My stomach has been unsettaled for the passed month or so, no clean bowels some often have red blood trails. I'm hoping its some type of internal bleeding...

I don't want to die. Really I don't, I'm scared support welcomed...

Anyone know any herbal remedies against cancer, aside from MJ I have one joint left, and it's mids(probabably won't help anything) and no possible way to get any more. I heard salvia and wormwood are possible cancer treaters as well... Pray for me, I'm really scared. I think i might try to have my parents send me to somewhere where medi is legal, if the results show up to be lymphoma.

If they say I have cancer do I have to go through chemo and radiation? Or can I just kind of live it out on my own?

I don't know anything about lymphoma so I don't really know what to say. I would definitely try to get to a place where medical mj is legal.

I'm sorry I don't really know what to say.

First. Before you go jumping to any conclusions and working yourself up into a state. See the doc, get the scans, go from there. It could be a million things or nothing serious at all.

I had an aquaintance who's just recently beaten Hodgkins Disease. He had like 11 tumours from his chest to his neck. He went through a bout of Chemotherapy and seems to be doing fine now. They say given his age he had quite a good chance. To my amazement he smoked cigs and weed like a chimney whilst he was having treatment. I personally thought it was stupid and would cease any extra intoxicating activities whilst already poisoning your body with chemo. So I reckon worrying about medical marijuana is the least of ones worries whilst going through cancer. It'd just make you think too much about it anyway imo. I'm aware it stimulates appetite and such.

There is natural alternatives to beating cancer. Many believe we are able to cure ourselves of anything. Wether all of us can harness that power in such times of distress is questionable imo. It's up to you what road you want to take. I know of people that have had huge success through vibrational healers, one I knew personally who had lymphoma seemed to be doing really well, she tried a diet from this website...

The Gerson Institute - Alternative Cancer Treatment

It consisted of something like 13 fresh squeezed vegetable and fruit juices a day and nothing else, it was strict to say the least. She went into remission several times, held it off long enough to see her little boy grow a few more years. She also had chemotherapy at other times. But unfortunately the cancer eventually got her in the end and she perished. So that doesn't say much aside from the fact that both kinds of treatment seemed to work, for a while. But her time was obviously up.

There ain't much more I can say other than good luck and hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

is it good hodgkins or bad hodgkins?

Smaerd · 07-10-2008, 11:16 PM

Yeah I've calmed down a lot, since that post. Thanks. My dude told me his aunt has lymphoma and she found out about it cuz the doc felt it and said it felt attached to her skin from underneath, same story for me. I am going to chill though, I am young as fuck to be worrying about that sort of thing.

LHM · 07-11-2008, 12:15 AM

^Good to hear. Imo it'd still be wise to see the doc and get the problem sorted whatever it is. Peace of mind always helps.

I'd assume most people would think of it as bad. Although some might see it as good. I don't fuckin' know. Cancer is what it is, I guess.

**Captain Cannabis** · 07-11-2008, 01:39 AM

medical problems are scary but you really can't jump to conclusions like that on your own. you should definitely see a doctor though because you shouldn't fuck around stressing about it if something is wrong.

i wish you the best in any case. think positive thoughts. in my own experience this can be helpful to the healing process.

WOW with your self-diagnosis. Think positive, I'm glad to hear you'll be seeing a doc. I will look into a natural remedy, I'm going on a road-trip to see The Medicine Woman. I'm certain it's NOT cancer............I send my paryers your way!

Smaerd · 07-11-2008, 04:13 PM

After two hours of waiting in some exam room, the doctor did a step throat test found out I had no strep throat[a 10 minute test usually what this guy was doing I have no idea]. I am prescribed to some Zepack or something it's an anti-bio. We'll see, but this guy sounded like a qwack for sure. He felt my lymph nodes and explained how it isn't lymphoma however, but he has no idea whats causing it. Oh well it's probably more normal then I thought. Back to apple cider vinegar!

**Pharm Girl** · 07-12-2008, 06:26 AM

I don't suppose 'Golden Thread' grows there??

I should of thought of it earlier......it's known as a 'cure all'.

spicoli · 07-12-2008, 08:47 AM

I haven't been here in a while...
i'm sorry to hear your worried about your health.
perhaps a second opinion would be in order?
not to worry you, i say this because you had the feeling he was a quack.
if you are feeling nervous about it still, go see another doctor.
i hope you mentioned the blood thing to him...
take care of yourself!

Smaerd · 07-12-2008, 12:51 PM

I guess my perscription is actually called Azithromycin, but I swear I heard the doc say "zepack" or something.

You may be being a bit of a hypocondriac automatically assuming that your swollen lymph nodes mean you have lymphoma. Any physical symptom that someone could get is also one of the symptoms of some type of cancer, but that doesn't mean it always is.

" Know the Signs, Know the Symptoms

* Painless swelling in the upper body lymph nodes, which can be felt in places like your neck, collarbone region, armpits or groin
* Fevers, especially at night
* Chills or temperature swings
* Unexplained weight loss
* Loss of appetite
* Unusual tiredness or lack of energy
* Persistent coughing
* Breathlessness
* Persistent itch all over the body without an apparent cause or rash
* General fatigue
* Enlarged tonsils
* Headache

Most people who have complaints like these will not have lymphoma. However, it is important that any person who has symptoms that don't go away see their doctor to confirm that no lymphoma or serious illness is present."
