I would like to let the practice to be aware that unfortunately my concern was not diagnosed for about 18 ths after various appts with the practice. I had a swelling in the upper thigh, also a lot of grow pain.
I have since been informed by the medical people who tended me that my type of cancer diffuse large B-cell lyphoma is difficult to diagnose. Just waited for the practice to be made aware of this. It may help another patient. Thank fully if am now in remission, am receiving good care.
