Understood. So we were diagnosed by different methods. My post-op lymph node ressection has not been fun. Fives weeks out and it still hasn't completely healed.

Regarding "watch and wait," at Stage 1 it sounds like you have time and that would be an appropriate option. With mine at stage 2 but no spread and appearing indolent, it's been suggested that it could be an option for me as well. I listened to an online seminar where a lymphoma specialist, Dr. Lauren Pinter-Brown, stated that "lymphoma may not and does not have to naturally progress from one stage to another." So I'm really really struggling with whether to begin treatment for my Stage 2 as my oncologist in Bangkok is recommending, or watch and wait as two other lymphoma experts in the US had suggested I might be able to do. It's stressing me out which I realize isn't good for my disease.
