The beginning


Mum has been ill for a few months and then she started to feel a bit better. We all took her for a birthday meal on 22nd June 2011 and all seemed well.

She had been referred by her GP to a consultant haematologist Dr. W Mumar-Bashi. He had received the results of her CT scan and she has the following challenges:








  • Lymphoma.
  • A small cyst on her liver - but this is not uncommon
     
  • An ovary cyst which will be the subject of an ultrasound scan this week.
  • An hiatus hernia which is currently under consideration.
The prognosis is this:

There is a 75% success rate in the Chemotherapy Treatment.
If successful, there is then a 40% chance that she will not relapse within 5 years.
