I recently had a bone marrow aspiration & biopsy which showed 64% of lymphocytes are prolymphocytes.
Thank you, Vonnie! B-PLL is a rare more aggressive progression from CLL where 55% or more of your lymphocytes are prolymphocytes. There seems not to be much data as less than 1% of CLL patients have… read more
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.
When I first went to the doctor my lymph node had been enlarged for over a year (or even more 😳) but I still felt good. I was diagnosed with stage 3 (FL) and sent to chemo. So you better see your… read more

Thanks for your support.
Does this maintenance drug cause chronic conjunctivitis? Ever since my first dose I have this problem every day snd very bad dry eyes. 2 days after receiving the drug it is at its worst tearing off eye lashes and constant need to wipe eyes from goop.
I have had the Neulasta patch that dispenses the med the day after I receive the chemo. It did cause some bone pain but I take Claritin before the med dispenses.
I was diagnosed with Follicular Non Hudgkin's Lymphoma last year in November. Had 4 Month Chemo with Bendeka. Now in remission, and was recommended to do a 2 year maintenance treatment with [[treatment:Rituxan Hycela:5c648bd265df61506ecba9a7]]. Anybody else has the same treatment? Is it standard to do it after chemo? What are the long term side effects? I feel fine, but still worry about this
Anybody completed the 2 year? Was any recurrence of the cancer shortly after finishing treatment.… read more
I tried the maintenance once and mine recurred while on it. I do much better just getting a round of rituxan when it recurs.
Hubby thinks he can independently go to his chemo treatments.He will be having Bendamustine and rituxan.
First one no. Then the rest yes with no problem at all, but last one hubs came to celebrate. It was on new years eve 2019

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?
