Is HCL considered and treated like lymphoma?

Posted by frank73 @frank73, 1 day ago

I was wondering if others thought it was as I had read where some feel it is the same and some treatments are the same. I do not know, just what others have found.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

I got treated 3x over the last 45 years. Time 1 was taking out spleen. Did fine for 30 years. Time 2 was Cladribine 5 infusions. Did fine 7 years.
Time 3 was cladribine and then retuximab. Doing fine. Getting bone marrow aspiration soon to see. Meanwhile bloods are excellent. See attached.
