T-Cell Lymphoma Prognosis: Outcomes and Survival Rates Read Article...

I have a PET scan every 6 months for follicular lymphoma. It's worth the risk because there aren't other really good ways to diagnose and track lymphoma, I think.

Thank you very much for your answer.
My husband had the latest one last September and his oncologist said it showed remission.
He will have another one in September this year. I wish he could have them more often.
