Are you looking to connect with others who have stage 4 indolent follicular lymphoma with bone marrow involvement and have had positive treatment outcomes?
Many people with stage 4 follicular lymphoma, including those with bone marrow involvement, do respond well to treatment. Stage 4 is often treated with a combination of chemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies like rituximab or obinutuzumab.
First-line treatment typically includes:
- Chemotherapy (such as bendamustine)
- Monoclonal antibody therapy (rituximab or obinutuzumab)
- Maintenance treatment with rituximab, often taken once every few months for up to two years
The goal is to eliminate cancer cells and then keep them from growing back. Many people can live for many years with this type of lymphoma, especially with newer treatments that have improved survival rates at five, 10, and 15 years.
While indolent follicular lymphoma is considered incurable, it's often manageable as a chronic condition. Because it's slow-growing, treatments can keep the disease under control for extended periods.
Following your treatment plan closely, maintaining regular monitoring, and staying in touch with your oncology team about any new symptoms can help improve your outlook and catch any issues early.
