I just want to check in with all the Lymphoma Warriors out there. How is every feeling lately?

I travel quit a bit, and been on and off the last month. I haven't had chance to see how you are all doing?
I have my 6 month check up to monitor my Lymphoma next month.
How have all your check up's been going?
I do hope you are all doing well?

Hi Jackie, thanks! I am in my first month of treatment (recent diagnosis). Today is infusion #2 of 4. Last week was 8+ hours and I had a reaction, so expecting today to be another long day. Was a bit taken aback by finally realizing that, however well this treatment works, I will ALWAYS have lymphoma. Good thing I love my oncologist! I am feeling well except for less energy than I like and anxiety(a bit) about...well, everything 😊. Overall, very grateful for excellent medical care and Insurance.

Thanks to everybody for checking in. After surgery and chemo in 2017 for stage 1 Non Hodgkins Lymphoma found on a fluke, my doc in January 2019 says I am cured and just need yearly checkups with PET scan, unless I have symptoms. So I feel pretty good, but worry about recurrences no matter what he says. I hope all of you do well. You all sound so much more challenged and braver than I feel that I have been. Hang in there, Warriors. gp
