Hello Melody, Sorry to hear about this scare you are going through. Actually, this is quite interesting as I am aware of someone else who is going through something very similar, although B-cell lymphoma has been mentioned not T-Cell Lymphoma. This patient also started Gleevec after dx.
Obviously the study about having had IFN first doesn't apply to you or this other patient that I know of. Neither does the story about kidneys' and prostate cancer. Let me ask you this, during the time that you noticed the lump, did you have a flu? Were you experiencing a lot of stress? Were you near any construction, house repairs? Are you in a geographical area where it is allergy season? The reason I am asking is that this patient and the doctor has noticed that the lump is shrinking on it's own and the Doctor isn't willing to say for sure if it is lymphoma at all, however, like you they are investigating it further. Were you ever treated for any other cancers prior to being dxed with CML? We've often heard about people who have been treated for lymphoma develop leukemia, but I think it is incredibly rare for it to be the other way around. I am sure Dr. Druker will respond to you, please keep us posted on what he says.
