Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
ck the medical & research journals for clinical trial results and other scholarly work. See who's doing the research and then locate them. A librarian will have access to subscription journals that you may not be able to access. I found our librarians very helpful in accessing resources I couldn't.
God Speed, dj
I may be able to help you as I have the same diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. I was diagnosed 6 years ago. Another name is Waldenstroms Macoglobulenia. If you live in the Dallas area, UT Southwestern has a wonderful hemotology/onclology department. the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society have sponsored some meetings where Dr. Treon with the Bing Institute, (associated with Harvard) is doing research on this type of NHL. I would be happy to share what I know if you would like to email privately.
Hello Twindy,
Yes,
Thank you so much, can't wait to hear.... going for RCHOP # 5 on Thursday,....we are getting PET scan result on Wed. Aren't sure we should be getting more RCHOP than 6 if PET scan is clear.....
Also, please send info on Bing
As I understand from following the thread, you have Walenstom's Macrobulinemia, or Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma. I have the same diagnosis, and just found out about IMWF, or International Waldenstom's Macrobulinemia Foundation. They are headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, 3932 D Swift Road Sarasota, FL 34231-6541. The phone is: 941-927-4963, and the web site is: www.iwmf.com.
I recently found out about them while I was vacationing in Sarasota, and stopped by to check them out. Really nice people, and I left there with 7 or 8 different booklets on Waldentrom's, and a newsletter. They may be able to also give you names of Dr.'s with a special interest, or experience, with Waldenstrom's. I hope this is helpful.
Sorry it has taken so long to gt back. I looked for your email, but see that it is private. Google Dr. Treon and you will find him. You can sign up to get his newsletter also. They are exclusively doing research on WM. Very nice doctor and staff.
I don't know where you live. In New Jersey at Hackensack Univ. Medical Center, Dr. Andre Goy (pronounced gwa) is an internationally known lymphoma expert and researcher. He would be someone to definitely contact. The hospital's main number is 201-992-2000 or 5000, if one doesn't work try the other. They can give you his private line and someone from his staff will talk to you. Judy
thanks Judy,We do live in Colorado and are now in touch with a few folks
connected to IWMF. Nonetheless, we would contact this doctor, to add to his
statistical database as my husband is young, 51.
appreciate your time in responding to us.
