Stage 3 Follicular Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma..and Wondering Why No Treatment Has Been Recommended...
I am reading here that a lot of people have been receiving treatment with a lesser stage (I & 2) than I have. (I have Stage 3 *follicular* non-hodgkins lymphoma). I have been on watch and wait since my diagnosis in April 2019. I'm wondering why the oncologist is holding off on any treatment. Why wait until it gets bad? Has anyone gotten treatment while being asymptomatic? If you do have symptoms, at what point did your Dr decide to start treatment?
As long as you have your blood tests every 6 months, and it looks good. There is no need for you to worry.
At The Time Of Diagnosis Or While Getting Chemo Were You Ever Told Of The Potential Side Effects Of Your Cancer Or Medication?
My oncology office made me go through chemo training before starting chemo. I was advised of all of the possible reactions.

Maintenance Program With [[treatment:Rituxan Hycela:5c648bd265df61506ecba9a7]]
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.β¦ 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.
