How Do I Test If My Husband Has Lymphoma Or Not?
My husband has told he might have lymphona in his right armpit. I have tried to find iinfo about this but so far have been unsuccessful. We would appreciate any info you can supply as to what to expect and what treatment he might have .He hasn t had any exams yet and no one knows if it has spread. He is 73 years old and otherwise in good health. Thank-you

Tissue examination under the microscope and special test called IHC will give us correct information about lymphoma. If suppose it came us Lymphoma , PET scan will help us to detect the spread of the disease. So first of all, take him to the Oncologist and for examination and for fnac/biopsy. Please don't neglect in going to oncologist.
