Lymphoma or Not? Watch and wait?

Renee:
A watch and wait situation is the best news possible. I was diagnosed with stage 4b hodgkin's lymphoma in early 2019 after 8 days inpatient at mayo clinic. After 6 rounds of chemotherapy, biopsies, numerous scans, and monoclonal therapy infusions, then diagnosed with non hodgkin's follicular lymphoma a year later, I wish I was initially in a watch and wait period. How are you doing now; December 2022?

Best wishes,
Don Castle,MPA

Hi Don, my husband was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins follicular lymphoma last fall. Scans, bone biopsy... Watch and wait didn't last long. He'll be starting treatment at Mayo pretty quick - bendastamine and Rituxin (sp?) for 6 cycles. Is this the treatment you had? Would you mind sharing your experience with treatment? He's 75 years and very active. Hoping the side effects to will be minimal. Thank you!! Sheri
