Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m a 69 yr. old male who has no doctor , new in town, recently had a CT Scan , that showed multiple or significant Lymphomas throughout my body. I was immediately referred by the clinic doctor to a surgeon. The surgeon did a biopsy with a 2 in. incision line to the rt. groin for a diagnosis on Jan 8th. The results were negative for cancer. During the following week I developed sarcoma with profuse drainage from a fibrotic swollen lump and went to ER. On Jan.16 the ER Dr. aspirated @ 40 cc s of clear fluid from the lump. Sat. Jan 17, I returned with the same problem and the same procedure was done. Sunday the same procedure was done in ER. Wednesday Jan 21 in ER my operative was on call and he aspirated more clear fluid from the wound site. Thursday AM my surgeon aspirated more in his office . He said at that time that the results where negative for cancer and he discussed the results with the radiologist and that I had profuse leaking or drainage from the lymph nodes behind my stomach area and that this could be the same problem excessive drainage occurring in the operative site in my groin area also. In his discussion with the problem with the excessive drainage with radiologist they agreed to do another CT scan to see if the problem has progressed or receded that was the surgeons treatment plan. In the meantime all through this process from the beginning my lymph cords on my Rt. leg have been getting progressively more inflamed combining with the leakage traveling down my leg causing my Rt. leg . to become larger and more sensitive. The lymph cord is so inflamed and painful in my leg that I m constantly putting ice packs on it to help me sleep. Sat. Jan.24 th. I had more drainage removed and am planning to discuss with the surgeon to put a drain in when I see him Monday AM. In the meantime I am looking for an appropriate specialist ie: Immunologist to find a solution for the leaking lymph glands . Does anybody know of anybody in the Sudbury area who can help who is covered by OHIP. Thank you for your help !
