This Is a Battle, Not a War: Final diagnosis

Final diagnosis

After being diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer at the end of June Celeste went in for a biopsy July 4th. The biopsy was for the doctors to know exactly what they were dealing with and how best to treat it. Finally last night they received the results and Celeste was able to start chemotherapy this morning.

It is non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at a stage 3. It is a stage 3 because it does not involve her bone marrow.

The final diagnosis: Atypical lymphohistiocytic proliferation, consistent with a B-cell lymphoma with plasmacytic differntation, not further classifiable.

They will be using RCHOP for 6-8 sessions with bone marrow evaluation at the end. Today they used an IV site in the arm but will implant a port near her collarbone for future treatments.

Celeste was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at the end of June. It was discovered when she went to the doctors due to a high fever and constant nausea (which they originally thought was caused by her gallbladder). After waiting a long two and a half weeks for the results of the biopsy the doctors were able to determine exactly what type of cancer and what stage it was at.

Results from biopsy: Stage 3, Atypical lymphohistiocytic proliferation, consistent with a B-cell lymphoma with plasmacytic differntation, not further classifiable.
