I'm a lymphoma doctor. In most cases minimal treatment is needed for this disease, and overall prognosis is excellent.

except our support group has 40+ diagnosed; 1/4 have needed further treatment (chemo, stem cell transplant)

Sad to hear. Most of the published experience come from academic centers, which I guess may not be reflecting the real world.

thank you for sharing! Many symptomatic women are being denied testing; blown off. Very real to those diagnosed!

Diagnosis would be made by a pathologist, not by a plastic surgeon 'ordering CD30'
-
I'm confused, how is testing done by Pathology if not ordered by Physician?
-
Hi. Typical diagnostic pathway would be that surgeon sends tissue from surgery to pathology, maybe with "??ALCL" as details 1/n
-
Pathologist examines slides from tissue under microscope; if suggestive of ALCL, orders additional tests incl CD30 immunostain

I'm going to say I'm not surprised that putting something fake in your body would cause cancer. I smoke, & am acutely aware of dangers.
