How Do You Handle Loosing Faith In Your Treating Oncologist/assistant?
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

My check up yesterday, I knew would be with assistant, I met 1 time prior and tried not to make judgment. Yesterday I asked pointed questions! I couldn't get an answer!!!! Agh!

Asking For Advice Regarding Lifestyle Of A Benign Lymphoma Victim.
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with benign lymphoma in 2020. Have it on my left cheek, can fell it when i run my fingers on it. It hasn't changed in size since the diagnosis.

74 Year Old Male. Diagnosed NHL Non Aggressive Mode. Not Many Frequent Symptoms.
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

Can Someone Explain The "watch And Wait" Reasoning For Treatment?
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?
