Medical Forum / General / General / June 2005Gallium question and lymphoma
Can a normal gallium scan pretty much exclude lymphoma? I had a normal gallium scan with the exception of a "hot" spot around my lung. (3 cm) Follow up ct showed everything normal (chest ct). I have alot of the symtoms including the "b" symptoms of lymphoma. Can I rest assured I dont have it? > Can a normal gallium scan pretty much exclude lymphoma?

Just by reading your posts, you sound to have Hodgkin's Lymphoma. http://www.lymphomainfo.net/hodgkins/diagnosis.html I am sorry. Good luck with your therapy. What an irresponsible reply. > Just by reading your posts, you sound to have Hodgkin's Lymphoma. > > http://www.lymphomainfo.net/hodgkins/diagnosis.html > > I am sorry. Good luck with your therapy. Really man you need to stop obsessing over this. You've had a normal gallium scan (with exception of a spot on your lung). You've had a Chest CT (for the spot on your lung) which was also negative. You're doctors are satisfied with the results. You should be as well. If you're absolutely convinced that you have lymphoma, then seek out a second opinion. When that comes back negative as well, then PLEASE move on and enjoy life. Mike > Can a normal gallium scan pretty much exclude lymphoma?

I was on Prozac for awhile but been off almost two months. >>> Thanks for the reply. I am just having weird symtoms for some >>> reason. Night sweats, intermittent fevers. Achy periods.

To be truthful when the doctor was worried about lymphoma I forgot to take it a few times and just thought it would be good to stop. I really feel it did not do anything. I was on a very low dose because I was having heart palpatations and they thought they might be anxiety related. But a later holter monitor proved I had occurances of atrial tachycardia. |
