Glad to hear that you are doing so well. Do you worry about recurrence ? My main obsession these days...

Yes I worry about a recurrance. When its time for my next check up which has been a year now, I worry the most when its close to my next PET scan or CT scan. I had my yearly check up March 30th and it was clean. No detectable cancer. What a relief. Told to come back in a year. So I won't worry too much until it's time for my next scan. Then the same routine.

I finished chemo in March for NFL. Just recently I found a large lymph node along my jaw line. Biopsy shows it the same form of NFL which is good. Doctor is recommending raidation.wjat side effects should be expected?

Hi, jjohnson8747. I wish I had info about your treatment, but I was treated with R-CHOP only. I'm sorry that nasty node appeared at the jawline and hope they zap it for you. Good luck and sock it to 'em. gp

@jjohnson8747 So sorry you need added treatments for your NFL. It does sometimes take a combination of both Chemo and Radiation together to rid the disease. Radiation can effect each person differently. Some do not have any side effects and others do. It is hard to say if you would experience anything at all. Here is a link to Mayo clinic's site that talks about Radiation therapy and the side effects of radiation.

I wish you the best.

Thank you

@jjohnson8747, I am sorry to hear that your NHL has come back. If you don't mind sharing, what was your experience with chemotherapy? I am not a medical professional, but it is my understanding that radiation differs from therapy in that it is more focused and is meant to only affect the part of the body that has cancer. Does this sound like the treatment you are going to have?
