Castleman's is so rare it can be misdiagnosed or left undiagnosed for some time. A Dr Robinson in Bristol United Kingdom diagnoses in 2 weeks.
Consultants in Swansea took 9 months to diagnose me because they firstly ignored my lump and secondly kept refusing to take core biopsy. As soon as they did I was diagnosed but they delayed treatment for 3 months and in that time I started feeling nerve damage

A diagnostic criteria has just been approved for CD which will help immensely with getting a diagnosis. With me it took months of ER visits and negative test results before a lymph node biopsy was performed which determined my diagnosis. Ultimately a lymph node biopsy will need to be performed. Afterwards when diagnosed CD is typically treated by a hematologist/medical oncologist.

Very difficult to diagnosis, they make a series of different tests, and surgeries in cases of lymph nodes, x-rays etc Is different in each person.
