Gail, so glad this was helpful! Our goal is to eventually cover every possible cancer subtype. Working hard at it. Thank you for your kind words! -Stephanie

Gail, I too have Lyme disease since 2018 and have recently had a rash all over my body for months. Also Epstein Barr level is extremely high. From my research I am worried I have lymphoma. Any advice? Thanks!

@@pauladailey530 thank you for your reply,the main thing that stuck with me through my experience was how important it was to have a biopsy, I had got these some what small lumps,some of them kept growing larger and main way I would find them was from them itching,my family doctor at the time thought they were lipomas and said it’s nothing to worry about,no testing or anything was done,when I seen they were getting larger I just went to ER and they did a referral to see a surgeon to due a biopsy,I ended up having several done and had to see other doctors as well before a definite answer, but they knew that it was some type of lymphoma,from what I know personally from how I take it is that it’s rare

@@pauladailey530 sorry I accidentally posted before I was finished, lol,but I will definitely see if there’s some type way for you to get a biopsy, from how I take it that bloodwork don’t always give you all the answers, and that’s why it’s important for a biopsy, I would say, if you still have those rashes maybe to see if there’s a way they could biopsy them,I would ask the doctor to see if they can check and make sure,if I didn’t push for it I’m not sure where I would be now,I knew something was wrong but I would have never guessed lymphoma,i did research myself after diagnosis with Lymes and lymphoma once I found out,also when I was getting biopsies done, I also was seeing another Doctor who ended up testing for Lymes, and it was by coincidence they were found out at the same time,and it came back positive,Whats crazy is I was having problems for while and I was tested for Lymes several times and it was always negative until I had the lumps then it was positive,I wish you luck,hopefully there can be more research into this type of cancer especially and Lymes,I’ll be praying for you 🙏🏼and trust your gut if you feel something wrong is one of the biggest things I have learned in my experience with this as well,have a blessed day,if you have anymore questions let me know:)take care
