Anyone who has dealt with MD Anderson…. I haven't even had my first apt and I'm already getting apt info from the lymphoma center too?? Is this standard? I haven't even gotten blood work done. Just one little shave biopsy. Would this be in regards to SNB if they decide to do one? Just seems odd to scare me like that!
I got a letter stating I had an apt with the Lymphoma center at MD Anderson. I will call on Monday to ask, but it just seems weird unless it is incase it has gone to lymph nodes? Or they test them.

Maybe that is the same clinic as the melanoma clinic, but lymphoma is a totally different cancer from melanoma. There is non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Hodgkins Lymphoma and cutaneous lymphoma. Lymphoma starts in the lymph nodes, it isn't melanoma that metastasizes to the lymph nodes.

That's what I thought….. There shouldn't be a reason I'm getting an apt letter from them. They are not the same dept at Melanoma…. Different floors at MDA. Hope it's a mistake…. I don't think there was anything in my path report that would signal lymphoma.
