@quimbie Thank you so much for your reply. It is so helpful hearing of other’s experiences. When you say you had chemo for over 2 years, do you mean you were treated a number of times? I am so glad for you that you have had been in remission for a number of good years!! My biggest fear (when I allow myself to think about it) is that it may transform into LBCL while I am in the “Watch & Wait”. By the time it shows with symptoms or bloodwork changes it will have already transformed, which is more serious and a much harsher treatment needed. I’m doing my best to rest in peace with it and learn to live with it…. Most of the time I do very well in not letting it consume me. Thanks again.

I had chemo and the drugs for just over 9 months then had chemo one day a month for the next year and a half. Labs of course. Had the bone marrow test and confirmed that it had entered the bones but look at me now. Prayer and positive belief that all is well and I am doing great. I had both knees replaced this year as had bone on bone and knees were really bad. I wore them out over the years and here I am doing fine and happy I had it done as can walk so much better. I was limping and used a cane at times and now all is well. I just turned 81 this month and feel Blessed. I pray all is well with you. Keep the faith.
