long would it have been in your body and developed before diagnosis.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
We never know how long any malignancy has been developing. Some have been present for years before they are large enough to present any signs or symptoms that lead to diagnosis.

This is not knowable, and it doesn't help even if we could know this.
It is the situation now that matters and of course the disease treatment / management plan.Health Question & Answer

I can only answer from what i know ..My Dad was diagnosed with NHL in the 80s when my and my brother were very young, I remember him having treatment a few times and what happened after, he went into remission for a good length of time, then after he had regular blood tests and then it just came back out the blue when he was 60 and decided he had enough because the NHL had spread to other parts of his body, he finally passed with the last stage and went peacefully, but as i know the treatment is better now than it was in the 80s.
With NHL i was led to believe it lays dormant in your body until it finally comes out (i am not sure though)Health Question & Answer
