It's part of the process of the disease, part of the body's response to the toxins caused by the cancer.

Iron deficiency anemia in Lymphoma?
I am struggling with a nursing careplan. My patient has extremely low blood values. RBC 2.67, Hgb 6.6, Hct 20.2. The patient is fatigued (one nursing diagnosis) and I know they are at increased risk for infection. I am having trouble explaining the pathophysiology behind this increased risk. Help!
Thanks in advance for respectful responses.
Iron deficiency anemia in Lymphoma?
Infection is always a risk even when a patients blood counts are normal. But in this case ...based on these numbers - A blood transfusion is in order here….and it is urgent-
Certainly Anemia is at issue, iron absorption would be a real problem with counts this low. It is irrefutable given that the normal red blood count range is between 4.2 and 6.
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cancer-...
But as for the rest (yes these are very low and a real concern)
Read this case here:
http://ubb-lls.leukemia-lymphoma.org/ubb...
I am sure a second opinion will confirm that there is a major concern and your evaluation while it may need some additional tests and study to confirm, is a reasonable one.
Good luck..

Inheritance Patterns in Burkitt Lymphoma?
If a parent has the disease, what are the chances their offspring will get it? Is it autosomal dominant, or recessive?
Inheritance Patterns in Burkitt Lymphoma?
Burkitt lymphoma is not inherited. We're not exactly sure what causes it but infection with Epstein Barr Virus may play a role. Outside of equatorial Africa, the disease is quite rare (about 100 new cases of Burkitt lymphoma in the US per year).

What is non-Hopkins lymphoma / cancer of the sternum and the best way to treat?
I have always believed that the mainstream medical industry is not interested in finding a cure for cancer because it makes too much profit with its present barbarous methods.
Eventually, I came across a detailed report which agreed with my findings, and I have included it in my web page at
http://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer...
By reading this report, you will also convince yourself that it is best to ignore the mainstream cancer industry, and seek alternative cures. Also you should bear in mind that the medical industry will do anything to protect its profitable position, including disparaging alternative healers or even creating bogus court cases.
I believe that cancer is a whole body thing, which in 80 percent of cases manifests itself by producing symptoms in the weaker parts of the body, and therefore appearing localised. It is this treatment of symptoms instead of cause which creates the profitable, yet non-successful approach of mainstream medicine.
Some cures are listed on the web page too.
It is therefore obvious that a holistic approach is required, based on cleansing, diet, exercise and debugging.
CLEANSING
The best way of cleansing is to fast.
http://www.phifoundation.org/menses.html
http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?I...
but if a patient is too weak for that, or does not fancy the idea, then alternative cleanses are available.

DIET,
The best diet is vegetarian, avoiding all processed, frozen or micro-waved foods and drinks, and based on fresh fruit, fresh vegetables - preferably organic, nuts and seeds. Drinks should be clean water or freshly squeezed orange juice.
Many researchers promote the benefits of vitamin B17 as a healer. this can be found in the following foods:
Apple seeds, alfalfa sprouts, apricot kernels, bamboo shoots, barley, beet tops, bitter almond, blackberries, boysenberries, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, buckwheat, cashews, cherry kernels, cranberries, currants, fava beans, flax seeds, garbanzo beans, gooseberries, huckleberries, lentils, lima beans, linseed meat, loganberries, macadamia nuts, millet, millet seed, peach kernels, pecans, plum kernels, quince, raspberries, sorghum cane syrup, spinach, sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean, buckwheat, garbanzo), strawberries, walnuts, watercress, yams.
A commercial preparation of B17 is available called Laetrile.
EXERCISE
Exercise should be sufficient to create a sweat, but not sufficient to make you gasp for breath or feel over-tired. About one hours exercise every day is best.
DEBUGGING
There are various theories about how bugs create cancer.
Hulda Clark suggests that parasites are the cause, and that they can be disposed of by using a zapper.
Zappers are available from

My brother might have Lymphoma?
i had hodgkins lymphoma. i was diagnosed in 2005 when i was 15 years old. i had stage 4 and i was scared out of my mind. my doctor called my dad and said "great news-it's hodgkins" we were in shock that it was good news but it was becuase its the best kind of cancer 2 get because it has a great recovery rate. i went through 8 rounds of chemo and 28 days of radiation. i am now 17 years old and i have been in remission for about a year and a half (knock on wood) and i am thriving off life. your brother will be ok. if you ever have any questions i am always here to answer and help. dont worry. it will be hard and a long road but your brother will be fine.
Reply:My son had Hodgkins Lymphoma. He went through chemo and a few surgeries. He was in college when this happened and stayed in school, got great grades and lived life well. He is graduating next month and is totally cancer free.
The worst part is 'chemo days'. He'll feel sick and tired, but chemo does end.
The doctors are incredible, the cure exists and life goes on very nicely.
Reply:My sister has nonhodgkins lymphoma. I found alot of info on the Lymphoma and lukemia googls search. You can also start on WedMd, go to sites like MD anderson hospital in houston texas, Thats where she finally sought treatment. Her D'd had given up and left her no new treatments but she and her husband were not willing to take that for an answer. Now she is on a chemo regeime but is considered in remission. Just keep searching the web, lots of good info, just don't concentrate on the bad stuff.
Reply:I am a Lymphoma patient grade 1 stage 4
the one I have is not curable but don't let that scare you he could have any of the other two types and they are curable if caught early
you can live a long comfortable life with grade 1 lymphoma too

Reply:There are so many types of lymphoma that it is too early to panic. Just be sure you send the pathology specimen for a second opinion to a place like Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson in Texas or N I H and he will get the best care. Prayers are with you.
Reply:There is a really great chance that everything will turn out fine for your brother. Please do your best not to stress yourself out, your brother will need your support.

Treatment of nonhodjken intestinal lymphoma?
You mean Non-Hodgkin's. Standard treatment is with chemotherapy and/or with a drug called Rituxan which causes your own immune system to attack the cancer cells.

Is hodgekins disease or lymphoma terminal ?
Yes, if not reated! you may want to proceed with MD or better with MD and someone who practices alternative medicine, such as naturopath or acupuncturist. this way you will not suffer from side effects of allopathic treatment, and may be able to restore your immune system and your total health.
Please make sure the alternative care provider that you choose, is trained or at least well experienced with the treatment of malignant diseases.
Is hodgekins disease or lymphoma terminal ?
Not necessarily. The cure rate for Hodgkin's lymphoma is quite high, somewhere around 75-80%, but it depends on the stage. Non-hodgkin's lymphoma is a different story, and depends on how aggressive it is.
