My dad did not respond to chemotherapy treatment, so he was put on an oral chemo drug - it is working and his blood count is slowly coming down. I understand most people diagnosed with mantle cell are stage four, but I cannot find much information regarding life expectancy after diagnosis. My dad is fit and healthy. He works out daily and does not have any current side effects. I guess it just all seems too good to be true, and I’m waiting for a bomb to drop. Is this normal for stage 4… read more
That is a statistic of those before you don’t even think like that live your life!
When I was diagnosed for Non Hoskins lymphoma was told 5-10 years.. I have not had any chemo because I have bad RA.. So far have had two nodules removed & soon a third. It's been bout 6 an half years..I have been doing things to keep lymphatic system flushed.. I know that dark cloud. You have got to keep mindset positive. God has control let him keep it. I do however understand where you are coming from. It's the Devil in your head, we rebuke him, he will not steal us from heaven, the Devil is a liar we rebuke him and send him back to hell. In Jesus name.. Find a little joy
Are thinking about ending your life early?
If you do any research on lymphoma. 5-9 years??? Idk bout stage 4 b cell, so I may be clumping it all together. Mine went into remission and I started at gym and used red light therapy there. That's been two yrs now. My suggestion would be to do something to clean you system out. Suana, sweat, water, red light therapy, walk. All that waste needs to go out of body. I have RA as well, have not done treatment because I do not like flares. Just try to be healthy. I don't know how long I will have to deal with lymphoma but I am believing that God has control of my time & health, so I will be here until he calls me home. It has become such a dark cloud to always have hanging around, that I am refusing to let it hang around anymore. Take care everyone
Larry, thank you for taking the time to explain what you have learned. Some of what you stated is very similar to what I’ve been told about my dad.
It does seem counterintuitive to wait and watch, but I can understand the importance of it. Im thankful you’re able to do so at this point and are healthy.
