I've been treated for an Arterial venous malformation on my leg since I was a little girl. I have had an operation to remove the AVM, but the surgeon said he also took out a lymphoma and I am seeing him next Monday for more information. I am absolutely scared to death. Does this mean I have cancer?I'm only 37 with two kids to look after, what do I do? Please somebody tell me if you have information on this, I'm in bits worrying about it.
