What’s Next After R-Chop

T-cell Rearrangement
T-cell Rearrangement
After almost five years from DBCL (non Hodgkin’s) my latest scans and blood work appear fine except for low hemoglobin and the t-cell rearrangement test.

I’m somewhat insecure about these results. Anyone have experience with this?

SLL Questions….
We are in Sacramento. My stepdad was diagnosed this week with SLL and inflamed lump nodes in his neck. They are just monitoring for now, which I suppose is good. Is there anyone here that is in Sacramento that has a good oncologist at Kaiser they like? Anyone with the same diagnosis or symptoms? What tests have you had done? We have just had a CT and Blood Work. Should we have a lymph node removed and tested? Doctor said we could but didn’t give much detail as to the benefit. Thank you.

Do You Use Things Spiritual In Dealing With Your Cancer?
Do You Use Things Spiritual In Dealing With Your Cancer?
Do you use things spiritual in dealing with your cancer?
If so what do you use? Prayer? Meditation? Certain books? Church, synagogue or mosque? Music? Poetry? I ask because I'm always looking for useful spiritual tools. Personally I use 12 step material and the book A Course In Miracles along with prayer. And there are certain organizations that I've found useful, that send out free booklets and magazines. But I'm always looking for useful things to add to my repertoire.
