Lymphoma

Hi, I was wondering if there was anyone on the site who has Non Hodgkins Lymphoma - it doesn't seem to have made it to the list of topics. I was diagnosed in early July after spending 9 weeks in hospital undergoing tests. I still can't understand why it took so long to find out what it was. Before that I had been visiting my GP with various unrelated pains and aches and fatigue which in hindsight pointed to the disease but didn't seem connected at the time. I wonder if this is a common problem or was I just unlucky. I have stage IV non Hodgkins follicular centre cell lymphoma which is also in the bone marrow. I am getting 8 cycles of R Chop and 6 cycles of chemo into the spine. I have just completed cycle 5 and am feeling well now. I spent a total of four and a half months in hospital as I got bacterial infections. I am home for 5 weeks now and it is heaven. I wonder does anyone know anything about 'centre cell' as all the literature mentions B cell and Tcell but never centre cell. Would love to talk someone.
