I Got Diagnosed With NHL Follicular Lymphoma In 2020 And Under Watch & Wait Since Then Without Any Symptoms And Stayin Very Healthy Now
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

But recently my cervical, above shoulder and occipital lymph nodes got swollen for the last 30 days without symptoms. Actually I am fit, healthy and hitting my gym regularly. My question is should I stop wait & watch and opt for treatment of Betamustine, Rituximab therapy as my Doctor suggested at the beginning when diagnosed, but he followed wait and watch till any symptoms appear. Can you guide me in this situation.

Rituximab And Intense Nausea And Loss Of Appetite
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am currently suffering Stage IV Bcell Follicular Lymphoma for which I receive monthly injections of Rituximab (Mabthera).
I suffer intense nausea, loss of appetite and fatigue. I have not enjoyed one meal for almost one year!
My doctors tell me I am imagining the nausea and that Rituximab never causes nausea and is a wonder drug!
Am I going crazy?
