I've a 22cm retroperitoneal mass that is low grade B cell lymphoma. My left leg is 3 times the size of my right thigh. Has anyone experienced this ,and if so did the swelling go down once the chemo started?

Thanks Jo

Hello Jo, yes I unfortunatly have. I was recently diagnosed w/ b-cell non hodgkins follicular lymphoma, i also have a retro mass on my left kidney that is around 16cm, and I have a giant left leg also. If I may ask you does your condition seam to be fast growing or slow? Also how long have you had your diagnosis, and are any treatments working for you? Have you been staged yet?
