74 Year Old Male. Diagnosed NHL Non Aggressive Mode. Not Many Frequent Symptoms.
At this point, I’ve decided not to start treatment
I have lost two friends in the last year to other types of cancer
They both went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
They continued telling me that the chemotherapy had caused many uncomfortable side effects and weren’t sure whether it was causing more painful issues than it was worth.
They both have passed in the last three months.

Can Someone Explain The "watch And Wait" Reasoning For Treatment?
I was just diagnosed a week ago and don't meet with my doctor to discuss next steps until after the new year. He mentioned possibly doing "watch and wait" method and I've read a lot that backs that up, which really surprises me. Why would you wait until things got worse to pursue any type of treatment?
Waiting every 3 months for my blood levels to get back to normal.
At The Time Of Diagnosis Or While Getting Chemo Were You Ever Told Of The Potential Side Effects Of Your Cancer Or Medication?
My oncology office made me go through chemo training before starting chemo. I was advised of all of the possible reactions.

Maintenance Program With [[treatment:Rituxan Hycela:5c648bd265df61506ecba9a7]]
I was diagnosed with Follicular Non Hudgkin's Lymphoma last year in November. Had 4 Month Chemo with Bendeka. Now in remission, and was recommended to do a 2 year maintenance treatment with [[treatment:Rituxan Hycela:5c648bd265df61506ecba9a7]]. Anybody else has the same treatment? Is it standard to do it after chemo? What are the long term side effects? I feel fine, but still worry about this
Anybody completed the 2 year? Was any recurrence of the cancer shortly after finishing treatment.… read more
I tried the maintenance once and mine recurred while on it. I do much better just getting a round of rituxan when it recurs.
I’m Wondering Why My Oncologist Or Hematologist Are Unable To Stage Or Sub-title My Lymphoma. They Just Say It’s B-cell NHL.
I have it on my vertebrae and 2 or 3 ribs. I don’t understand. Can anyone give me some insight? Thanks

Thanks Frank!
Has Anyone Had Car-t Therapy??
Shingles Vaccine? Yay Or Nay?
Any thoughts on whether those of us with lymphoma should get the shingles vaccine? My oncologist today told me I should get it. I've been pretty die-hard about not introducing toxins into my body....and I'm thinking that is another one. But he said getting shingles would really be hard on my body with the lymphoma.

Thanks I’m going to ask my oncologist when I go in next week.

My Spouse Was Diagnosed With Stage IV Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma In July 2019.
He refused chemotherapy and refuses to talk about his situation. He does nothing but sit and watch tv. Are there any suggestions about how to be supportive of his choices?
