Yes, it can, which is why you should have competent medical care to detect it early if it does return.
I have had lymphoma,stomach cancer,can it come back?
thank you all Report It
Reply:A friend of mine had LArge cell lympohoma, and did chemo and radiation been 10 years, good luck
Reply:Lymphoma is notorious for coming back.
It's been 2.5 years so far for me, and I'm hoping it doesn't come back. Keep getting periodic scans, to detect it early if it does come back. Stay in close touch with your doctor.

Has anyone had lymphoma or know anyone that has it? What are the symptoms?
There are different types of lymphoma, but here's symptoms of a common one...
Symptoms of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) depend on the area of the body affected by the disease. The most common symptom is a painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin. Other symptoms may include:
Unexplained fever.
Night sweats.
Extreme fatigue.
Unexplained weight loss.
Itchy skin.
Reddened patches on the skin.

What is hodgkin lymphoma?
Hodgkin's Lymphoma ( aka Hodgkin's Disease) is a type of cancer that affects the immune system. It can occur in both children and adults. Most common in early adulthood and late adulthood. It is diagnosed by the presence of the Reed Sternburg Cell.
What is hodgkin lymphoma?
It is called Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I suggest you do an online search. Only read the info from reputable, reliable medical sites or from the national organization website.
I don't know the details of this disease, which I believe is a type of cancer, but I do know that there are good treatments available.

Do I have lymphoma?
In my neck, above the collarbone, I feel a small lump. It doesn't feel rock-hard but is kind of firm, feels like what can be described as "movable", doesn't hurt, and is not swollen (the whole thing can fit on the center of the top of my finger, and isn't readily visible: you have to feel for it even if I turn my head all the way over).
These things appear to be in my favor:
1. The apparent absense of swelling, small
2. No B symptoms
3. Firm and not rock-hard
4. Moveable
These things appear to spell out cancer:
1. Lack of pain. Although I can't feel pain in any of my other neck lymph nodes.
2. The fact that there is firmness at all
I am otherwise very healthy, I have an immune system built like a tank and my cuts and bruises heal faster than anybody I've ever seen.
I estimate the node has been like this for maybe a half year.
I am going to the doctors soon for my permit, so I'll have him check it out.
If I do, how long would I have to live?
Do I have lymphoma?
That's definitely not cancer. The doctor will laugh if you ask him this.
Reply:can you say hypochondriac?
don't put the cart before the horse silly, let the doc take a look, I'll bet it's just a cyst from an ingrown hair.
Reply:yes
Reply:It sounds like a thyroid nodule or a goiter. I had the same thing and I turned out to be ok. I highly doubt it is cancer, don't worry, just get it looked at.

Reply:Ok you too like me have health anxiety, not gonna say hypochondriac because i picture them as scared of germs and such. If you feel their are lymph nodes all over your body almost anywhere you look youll be able to feel them, they range in many different sizes, all if you feel between your thighs and move up along the crease to where you feel bone and search youll find a lymph node there, feel it its hard and sort of big right well its normal.

I had hogkins lymphoma cancer but can't stop itching any ideas?
Hi Becca Louise:
If you had Hodgkin lymphoma, then my guess is you had chemotherapy as well. Sometimes your treatment (chemo or radiation) can lead to changes in your skin and results in dry, itchy skin. However, it's also a classic symptom of Hodgkin lymphoma. In either case, call your medical oncologist and schedule an appointment for a discussion and exam.
I had hogkins lymphoma cancer but can't stop itching any ideas?
yes scratch an itch
Reply:Your skin is probably dry from the radiation or treatment. You should use a lotion that is mostly Vitamin E. That's what I did and it helped a great deal.
Reply:It may be recurring. I'm not trying to scare you, honestly. But, itching is a symptom of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Any night sweats? Weight loss? Just have your doctor check it out.

Fred Thompson's lymphoma?
Why aren't the neocons blasting him for using his illness as a campaign tactic?
Fred Thompson's lymphoma?
Lymphoma is cancer, not benign like someone wrote here.He has not officially announced but he has been putting out feelers. He was to meet with 70 Republicans this week.
I agree with you, why aren't they chastizing him the way they did John Edwards and his wife? They won't because they are the typical bunch of hypocrites.
Reply:You aren't being nice. He only wanted to know how the public would feel about his illness to know whether he'd be wasting his time running or not. If all candidates would be so upfront! And he's a Republican so why would we?
Reply:Because he is not using it as a campaign tactic. I heard the interview. He said he wants full disclosure to the public about his condiiton before he announces whether he will run. Would you prefer that he cover it up? He should be applauded rather than criticized for having cancer.
Reply:How exactly is he doing that??? He is not even officially running.
You are trolling here.
Reply:Take a deep breath...calm down.
Your job as a citizen is not to vote a "party", it is to ascertain for yourself whether or not the candidate supports your beliefs with integrity, conscience and conviction.
If you find that Fred Thompson is using his illness as a campaign tactic, which would be a flaw in his integrity, don't vote for him.
If I view the same facts and find that is not the case, and all other issues find resonance with my beliefs, I may well vote for him.
Edwards and his wife's illness should come under the same scrutiny by all voters.
Now, if you are just trying to throw mud at a candidate, I find that disingenuous on your part.
Keep your own council on such things and follow your own mind in deciding who should receive your support and who shouldn't.
This would equally apply to conservitives (not neocons as the term is dated and doesn't define conservatives anymore, look it up OK?) as well.
There should be a lot more research by citizens into candidates outside of the media and a lot less "fan reaction", which is what your question really is about.
He is on an opposing team and you want to scream at and about him.
Be a voter, not a fan of some political party.
Reply:The left is getting nervous........
Reply:Listen to the tone of voice he used when announcing his benign lymphoma.
Listen to the extreme leftist response.
It is as obvious as the main-stream news hacks.
He couldn't win. If he kept it a secret, he would be criticized for hiding an important health issue.
He carefully notified everyone that the lymphoma was benign, that it was discovered THREE YEARS AGO, and that it WASN'T an issue that would affect his health or his ability.
HE didn't make a big deal out of it.
YOU EXTREMIST LIBERALS WITH YOUR SPECIOUS AGENDAS are the ones making the big deal out of it.
Reply:Fred Thompson has not used his lymphoma as a campaign tactic. It will probably keep him from being nominated.
I really like Fred Thompson, but I use the same analysis for him that I do for Mrs. Edwards. My heart goes out to both of them. But our nation needs a President who is focused on our nation's health, and not their own.
Reply:he dnt got my suppoert. young republicans. for Obama, if not him then its Hill Dogg. : Ms. Hillary C.
Reply:They are all worried that he'll energize the Conservative Base. (which he will) And attacking someone, is their only way of feeling better than someone.
Reply:re: my question that you answered.
I guess some people are too stupid to realize that rates of aboriton differ in various places and at various points in time.
Maybe someone with a brain who wasn't lying about the desire to reduce abortion rates would take the time to learn about it.
And, maybe he would have sheep voting for him and his lies.
