I had Follicular Lymphoma and treated for 6 month w wonderful remission afterwards in March of 2021. Had Cat Scans Sept 2021 and more in mid 2022. Now, it's time for another check. More scans... I was told they would be less frequent. Especially after the 2 year mark. What have you been experiencing out there? In regard to scans. Thank you
I had numerous scans (CT and bone scans) between 1992 and 1997. In 2005 I went out of remission, and had a few then (Pet Scans), and in 2006. I dont recall my last scan, and I am still in remission… read more

I was going to the ear doctor and he found what I thought was a lipoma on my clavicle but he said lymphoma. I went for a pin biopsy and then a core biopsy to confirm FL.
I know night sweats is listed as one issue with this cancer. I finished chemo in March of 23, 2023 and radiation in September of 2023. Night sweats stopped after treatment but have started again this last month. Is this something I should be worried about. Does this mean cancer is back? Or just a side effect that doesn’t go away ?
Did they do a CT or PET scan after you finished both txs? Blood work and lymph nodes in areas close to the surface can be locked at or felt to see if they have shrunk, but that does not show the… read more
Been in remission since May and have been having stomach pain that was believed to be a hernia until ultrasound showed there wasn’t one. Now have to go back for another PET scan because of a swollen liver and spleen. I’m having severe anxiety over the whole situation. I don’t want to do this again.
Mark as a patient in remission you will find yourself with wondering if every pain is cancer reoccurring. If anxiety helped I would say go for it. You can choose to worry or choose to move on with… read more
