@loribmt Somehow, I missed this message. Yes. I have been diagnosed with marginal zone lymphoma and am currently in a watch-and-wait protocol. I was diagnosed in 2021 and did six rounds of immuno/chemotherapy that ended in March of 2022.

My April and July 2024 scans showed minor recurrence in four lymph nodes. Therefore, I'm in watch and wait.

Hi @emmiet. I’m sure you’re a little anxious about finding even a minor recurrence of your MZL on scans. We all hope for a permanent remission after going through chemo. Fortunately marginal zone lymphoma tends to be a slowly developing type of cancer in the lymph nodes. So jumping right back into treatment isn’t always warranted. Did your doctor discuss a potential for another round of chemo or immuno therapy?
