My Husband

This summer, my husband had night sweats, lost weight, and had a huge lump (he finally told me) in the groin area. The lump was removed and the Dr. told him that he had non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the slow growing kind. About 17 years ago or so, he had a lump under his arm and had that removed, too.

Getting a second opinion?

After the recent biopsy came back, he said, "I was sure it was cancer but the biopsy showed it was cat scratch fever". Now I think they read the biopsy wrong and he's had cancer all this time. His Dr. said we should wait and see what happens. I want my husband to have a second opinion, but he is reluctant.
