I was on Watch and Wait for 4 years and 4 months. All of a sudden I had 3 lumps come out different places, went to my regular doctor and he said it was cyst and sent me to a surgeon to get them removed and sent in for testing. It came back they were Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma and aggressive.
I have had 3 chemo treatments and another due Thursday June 12, 2025.

Dan22 wow and woaw!
That is my issue with Watch and Wonder (not wait in my opinion).
I am hyper aware of my body and notice small changes so I wonder alot. I do not worry or overreact but I just wonder if something will me missed turning it is Watch and Opps-WonderedTooLong.
So sorry your cancer advanced and so happy you found it. Why did you need surgery? Ik most NHL cancers do not have surgery.
Take care.

Wait and watch is a double-edged sword in my opinion. How often are you having scans? A mistake my team made in my case was not performing a PET scan to detect the metabolic activity inside the tumor, to ensure it was not transforming into DLBCL and remained stable. Chances are low, like 1 in 100, but it happens, and then it's a very different ball game. I ended up having a major surgery because of it.

Oh no! Glad you went to the doctor.. what kind of NHL was your original cancer that placed you on Watch and Wait?

Dan522 having surgery for NHL is crazy. My folicular NHL is deep in my gut. I often wonder what's going on inside. Happy the surgery option was there to help you.
I'm in Ottawa too.
