Hi My Dad Was Admitted To Hospital With Pains In
Hi
My dad was admitted to hospital with pains in his stomach. He had a Ct scan which showed a shadow. He had lymphoma 13 years ago and has been clear since then. The pains have subsided and he was sent home. The doctor said the scan would be sent to the lymphoma team and in due course would have an endoscopy. Does a shadow nesseccarily mean the lymphoma has returned? My Dad is an extreme worrier and I'd like to offer him some reassurance if possible especially just before Xmas. Thank you. Lorraine
