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?

Hi ,
Just a quick update of my situation. My follicular lymphoma initially showed up on my nose , and after 18 radiation sessions, was gone . Went few yrs with no significant events, but at my last CT they found a lung nodule big enough to “ scream “ cancer . So last December I went for surgery. It was stage O and also they removed some lymph nodes with no evidence of cancer . Fingers crossed. Thank you
