Took my flu shot a couple weeks ago & woke up the next day with
severe neck pain and also pain in my abdomen & rib cage/diaphram
area.

Assumed it was a reaction to the normal flu shot.

Tried to push through it and ride if out but this past Thursday my
ear, nose, throat specialist set me up with a full panel of blood work
& CT scan of my neck.

Blood work was normal but CT scan revealed clusters of numerous
swollen Lymphocetes in the left side of my neck.

Followed up this morning with a full body scan of my chest,
abdomen, & pelvis after drinking 900 mgs of Barium milk shake.

Just got the call from the DR who advised that my chest & abdomen
were riddled with numerous clusters of these Lymphocetes.

Dr is setting up STAT appointments with regional Oncology
specialists in Syracuse.

Apparently something in my DNA was telling my Lymphatic system
to go haywire & mass produce these Lymphocetes which may be
detrimental to my upcoming trapping season !!!

Been dealing with severe neck & chest pain and abdominal cramps.

Anyone from Trapperman been stricken with this Lymphoma
and what was the method & results of your treatment ?

Thanks in advance for any helpful information.

My mom had it.

She swelled up in a couple spots. Mainly under her arms. She was really uncomfortable when the would swell.

She had beaten ovarian, and bladder cancer. She said she was tired of fighting and refused treatment for the lymphoma. Her doctor told her that since she was so compromised after fighting the other 2 that going in a trying to remove the effected lymph nodes that it would probably just spread all through her.

He did tell her that without the other 2 diagnoses one right after the other that beat the lymphoma was really high.

Many cancer survivors here...chronic lymphocytic leukemia here 16 yrs and no chemo...only naturals. I wouldnt get too shook up over it.my numbers go up and down...when i stop my naturals my neck and throat swell up like a bullfrog..relax.

Survivor of non-hodkins lymphoma , 32 years now.

Did chemotherapy , not fun.

Many types of lymphoma , litterly thousands. Mine they caught early , later stages , more problems.


Best advice I can give you , get the best oncologist ( cancer doctor ) you can find.

I was stage 4 for about 8 yrs,now its not bad. Spleen always double sized,armpit nodes enlarged some. Drs like to scare you. Huge profits involved. Dont jump to conclusions...get several opinions.

Mom (82) was diagnosed with stage four large B cell lymphoma with tumors found on her lung spleen and esophageal area. They suspected lung cancer at first but after testing the doctor was much happier with the lymphoma diagnosis as very treatable and many times cured or well managed with spot treatments. She goes in this Thursday for her fourth of 6 rounds of chemo and they just did a ct scan which showed no tumors.

Good luck walleye in your battle with this disease. Get past the c-word . Pray and listen to guys with initials after their names. Everybody is different. You’re not leavin yet. You gotta stay around for when Trump wins!! All kidding aside we are pulling for you buddy.

Wishing you the best Walleyed. I'm lookin forward to the annual Walleyed muskrat thread. Stay strong.

God Bless.
I believe that is one of the most treatable types of cancer

Said a prayer for you.

No matter what the diagnosis turns out, remember you got this. It could be a mis read of your labs? We will be praying for you and your family. Others on here can give you more valuable info than I can. Stay strong and keep us informed.

You can beat this.

You have to beat this....
Gotta keep Boco on his toes.

Best of luck man.

You may have been on to something when you thought it may have been a reactions to the shot.
Vaccines have something called an adjuvant or somthing like that. It's an exitier to the immune system.
Sometimes if you have something under line going on during a shot it can trigger you're immune system to go into over drive. Well you're lymphatic system is part of your immune system.
Personaly I wouldn't be hasty doing any thing radical.
Westriver may have some good suggestions on the natural diet. I've been eating keto and eating cancer fighting diet and I haver a tumer shinking and feel much better in the short time I've been on board.
Prayers for healing.

My friend Dick has chronic lymphocytic leukemia. I think he was diagnosed when he was 68 years old. They treated it and it came back. He's 86 now and has it still, but is in pretty decent shape overall. He has a pretty hot, 60 year old girlfriend, who keeps him busy. Once last year, after a harsher treatment, Dick called and talked to me for an hour and 47 minutes. When he was hanging up, I heard him tell his girlfriend, I don't know who the heck that was." He called me back about 5 minutes later and asked me "That was you Keith?". I laughed and said You were the one who called me!". I've known Dick since 1995. He's an Army vet, retired foundry worker and an old horse and pigeon trader.

Having lymphoma is not a death sentence. I hope it doesn't effect you and that you get a hot, younger girlfriend, if you're single.

I survived non Hodgins Lymphoma. It's been 15 years since it was treated with chemo. I have some after affects of chemo, but not the lymphoma.

Very good advice....dont be hasty..pray to our creator.
