What are the stages of low grad lymphoma?

[bluebird777]

What is the staging of low grad lymphoma? Can it spread like fibroids? The doctors think I have lymphoma. I have small masses and swollen lymph nodes in my neck, left hip and left breast. but I am also noticing pain and inflammation in joint areas. Some areas have small hot dog shaped fibroids(for lack of a better word) that are painful. I just found very small but painful ones on the anterior of my elbows on the ulnar side.

I have had thyroid cancer, stage three. This doesn't seem to be the same. I don't have insurance and am being monitored every 30 days. Will be having a mamo in a week and a cat scan of the changes in my neck when I have enough money saved.

I realize I am trying to cram a lot of information into a short time here. But I am basically hoping someone can shed some light for me. I believe that either I have cancer that has come back with a vengeance or I have something on top of the cancer. Could I some how develop a fibroid disease on top of the cancer or is this just the next stage?

Thanks!

I hope your wife is doing ok now! It has been about 8/9 years since the first diagnosis with the thyroid cancer.  Still trying to figure things out.  I think I'm gonna get a second Quack opinion. LOL

My wife had sarcoma in 1996 in her leg. Removed it and had Radiation. She was fine till 2005 when her leg began to swell. The good news is it has something to do with lymph nodes and poor circulation (caused by radiation) Quack told her it is common to occur 10 years after survival. I hope all is well with you. It wont hert to get your Quacks opininon.
