I have read that this condition is rare but I have a biopsy for breast cancer coming up and I also have non hodgkin lymphoma. I am wondering if you can have both at the same time!

Maintenance Program With [[treatment:Rituxan Hycela:5c648bd265df61506ecba9a7]]
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Shingles Vaccine? Yay Or Nay?
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.
They both expressed to me that their quality of life, and getting some extra months, wasn’t really… read more

When Did Your Fatigue Set In?
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have follicular lymphoma and last week got my fourth treatment of chemo and immuno therapy. So far my body copes reasonably well but, given that fatigue seems to be a really big topic in this forum, I was wondering when fatigue started to set in with you? Already during therapy or afterwards? I know it's different for everybody but just wanted to get an impression. Sorry if someone already asked this before - I just found this forum today.
