I was diagnosed in July 2021 and underwent 6 monthly rounds of chemo. Bendimustine and retuximab. After that I have CT Scans every 6 months and labs every 3 months. I see my oncologist every 3 months. Other than being tired, I am pretty much OK. No long term prognosis yet.

Welcome to Connect @kirk86! Thank you for sharing your experience with having WM and your treatment plan. It sounds like it’s been successful in getting your blood cancer under control. It’s positive stories like yours that can really give hope and encouragement to new members such as @jessabell who was just recently diagnosed with WM.

How were you diagnosed and how soon after diagnosis did you begin treatment?
