I was diagnosed in Jan 2023. I had a lump in my left bicep and a biopsy found the MCL. I went to MD Anderson for a little over a month and tests determined it was only in a lymph gland in my left armpit. Nothing in the blood, bone or anywhere else. I was very lucky (I guess) I then went to Moffitt in Tampa where I had a monthly Rituxin infusion, monthly bloodwork and 420 mg imbruvica per day. All was going well and now it is bimonthly with a PET scan every six months. Tomorrow (Feb 5, 2025) I go for my bimonthly infusion and bloodwork. I dont know how it will turn out but so far it seems to be going well. I wish I knew what the future held and wish I was able to stop the meds. They seem to make me very tired and I bruise so easily. I was taking brukinsa for quite a while but it killed my stomach and my Dr was able to get me back on imbruvica. I truly hope everyone fights the fight and is successful. Best of luck.
