My carotid body tumor was re-diagnosed as B cell follicular lymphoma, whatever that is. It may be an acronym They may call it something else tomorrow. I have tumors throughout my body, but three chemo treatments will probably put it into remission. I will be getting a permanent IV port on June 5, and begin chemo the next day. I have been to so many appointments, seen so many doctors, been to so many hospitals, had so many tests, I feel like I have been on a merry-go-round for too long. The paperwork is incredible, same information over and over again. Getting into a regular treatment schedule will be a relief.

I'm glad to hear that there is a treatment plan in place for you, now @puddknocker. I'm sure that you are relieved to be at this point. It really can feel like a medical merry-go-round when you are first diagnosed.

It must be very encouraging to know that the three chemo treatments will probably put you in remission.
Do you know the frequency of the chemotherapy? Will it be monthly?
