Lymphoma testing

Hi everyone,

I'm here to speak with you all as I dont know where else to turn, I have family and friends but I dont want to burden them with it all.

Ok I have Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and I take biologics injections every 2 weeks called humira, I've been taking then for 2 years now and a rare side effect is lymphoma! I have had all there red/purple blotches and rashes come up all over my body the last 8 weeks and I am waiting for a referral to see a dermatologist because my rheumatologist isnt sure if it could be lymphoma and wants a dermatologist to do a biopsy, my dr is very concerned as it looks like skin lymphoma..... I'm really worried about this alot, I just wanted to speak to anyone just to ease my mind a little. Thank you for your time 

  • Hi Flamingo and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about the situation you find yourself in at the moment and can understand your concern. Many of our members know how scary it can be waiting for a potential cancer diagnosis so fingers crossed some of them will pop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    I hope you're not waiting too long for your dermatology appointment and that they're able to give you good news when the time comes.

    All the best,
