Non Hopkins (Malt)

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Brookfield, CT

I have been diagnosed with NHL MALT, after all the tests the visit to the general oncologist said look and wait. He wants me to wait 6 months. Is that common for MALT. I am a retired Oncology Nurse so I know medically about NHL.

Also should I seek a specialist in NHL or stick with a general oncologist?
