Yes, 22 is very young. But, leukemias and lymphomas are cancers that have been shown to have higher incident rates in the young compared to other cancers, which usually are diseases of the old.
Just wait for the biopsy results and until then you can do your own research on the disease.
He didn't tell you any other info? I mean I guess you will have to wait until the biopsy and blood results, but if you can provide any other info that would be helpful to us so that we can try to give you advice.
The PET scan will provide them with a lot of useful information about the exact diagnosis. Providing them with images, structural information, stage, and the tumor's affects on near by tissues. It will also be used to assess if you have any other solid tumors in your body. Since it is a lymphoma, static lymphoid tumors can metastasize and arise throughout the body, from circulating cancerous blood cells. So this will be a good diagnostic tool for them to do on you.
Do you mean test for HIV with the blood work? They will also assess other information from the blood work too, about the cancer, etc...
Keep your head up man. Things will turn out for the best.
