Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma- Watch & Wait Approach

I was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma 1 year ago. I am not receiving treat because it is a slow growing cancer.
Anyone else have any experience with this disease?

Welcome to Connect, @categ. This is a great place to meet others who share the same diagnosis. Here are just a few of the members who also have follicular lymphoma such as @valandsheri @quimbie @puddknocker @traceyt @vonbaron36 @bogie60 @lee59 @susanlim @caracello22.
Some members have been on ‘watchful waiting’ while others have received treatments. Because this is generally a slowly developing cancer some people can go many years before requiring any intervention.
I’m also popping in a couple links to articles about follicular lymphoma that you might find helpful.

Were you having any symptoms when you were diagnosed or was this discovered with routine blood work?
