Hi Jackie I was diagnosed January 2017 stage 1/2 Follicular lymphoma. I'm also breast cancer survivor 2.5 years out. I go to my oncology doctor every three months for blood work. My insurance will not authorize any scans so my last scan was July 2017. I'm feeling well. The doctors found my lymphoma when I was having a scan for kidney stones.

Hello @patmariejohnson. How have the results of your regular blood work looked? You may also be interested in checking out some of the discussions in the breast cancer group as well, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/breast-cancer/. You also mentioned that you are feeling well, are the regular blood draws to monitor your lymphoma during your "wait and watch" period?
