Follicular Lymphoma

Posted by josiff @josiff, May 19 5:20am

Was diagnosed by my urologist in December 2022, on wait and watch till November 2025, then did 6 cycles of Rituximab and Bendamustine upto March 2026. Partial response after 4 cycles, but after the 6th cycle, regression to November 2025, that is pre-treatment level.

Diagnosed in 2005 began treatment in 2010 and finished after 2011. Every six months visits to the clinic and blood work. since then. Treatment was a lark but the waiting for the treatment was a little unsettling . Doing well so I suggest to see your doctor if anything raises a concern. Mine was swelling of lymph node on left side of neck.

Thanks for the hug. My big node is impacting the intestines, has grown back in size after first having partially reduced, and therefore the problem.

Medicine is a great tool but keep your self positive and do not give in to the negative feelings. I believe in positive thinking and most of all prayer. I pray any time and most all time just a minute here and there. Stay positive and believe. That is half the battle with cancer I have discovered. Don't let it beat you or define you. Fight it from within. Saying a prayer for you.
