I totally agree. You need to see the oncologist before July. One of the signs of lymphoma was itching… I had no idea - I was trying to figure out what I was allergic to!!

You have to be your own advocate! Get in to see that Dr. sooner or find another one who can!

I would call to get in sooner than July. My lymphoma transformed to a more aggressive type and it started to take hold pretty fast. I always call with symptoms. Don't let it wait.

Nan4,
Hi and welcome to the site. Everyone on here is so kind, supportive and helpful. I have/had DLBCL and had treatments of RCHOP chemo. I've been in remission for 3 years. I would absolutely call your oncologist and let them know. Ask to talk to a nurse at your office about this and maybe they can get you in sooner then July. Kelly
