My husband was diagnosed in 2014, at the age of 60, following symptoms which included excessive tiredness, memory lapses and unsteadiness. His treatment began in January with in hospital chemo that lasted 4 months followed by a Phase II chemo regiment. He was releases the end of May and returned the following January with a severe infection from an infection in his port that radiated down into his right shoulder and arm. Following that, he received multiple transfusions and follow up MRI's for the next five years. We have not been back to his onocologist since early 2020. I don't believes we have ever heard the words cured, although my husband feels he is. Would be interested to hear from anyone that has been diagnosed 5+ years. He will be 68 in December.

CarrieAnne, welcome. Allow me to introduce you to @mepowers who has been in remission since 2016 and others in this forum central nervous system lymphoma.

CarrieAnne, does your husband normally return for a yearly follow-up but didn't this year?
