The doctor just told my 84 year old mother that she may have lymphoma based on a preliminary work up-. She already has Sjogren's Syndrome, Glomerulonephritis and is oxygen dependant COPD. And celiac (dx'd via bloodwork only after my biopsy, gluten free five years)
More tests to follow.
She does not plan on doing drastic anything about it, and wishes to go on Hospice. _________________ Pat |
