I had a lymphnode removed and i dont understand what this means
Flow cytometry will be performed to exclude the possibility of a low grade B lymphoproliferative disorder although highly unlikely based on morphology. He came in first stating that it was good news I didnt have cancer but then he showed me this. It has been months of back and forth with this. Does anyone know what this means? he said he's 99 % sure its not cancer. I just feel like I left there not knowing much more than when I went in. Posted on 06/14/12, 05:05 pm |

When I don't understand terms, I google them. I googled your terms. It sounds like the lymphoproiferative disorder is an indication that an immune system isn't functioning properly. A flow cytometry is a diagnostic process to fine tune a diagnosis. Of course, I am not a doctor so I can't be sure but either way, it sounds like good news to me.
You need to be your own advocate. Your doctor should be able to explain things in a way that you can understand. Ask him questions, tell him you don't understand and can he try to explain it in less medical terminology. Don't be afraid to take notes while he is talking with you. I often do that so I can remember everything he says. Hang in there. Sounds like your doctor is trying to figure it out. I have my fingers crossed for you!
