When to start it?

  • Hi and welcome to the Online Community but always sorry to see folks finding us.

    I see from your profile that you have been diagnosed with one of the 80 types of Lymphoma namely Follicular lymphoma. Could I subject that you start posting in that forum (I see that you have joined it) as you will connect with others on the same journey.

    I had a different type of NHL and I was on Watch and Wait for 14 years before we had to use full on treatment.

    If watch and wait is suggested for you, it means it is in your best interests to keep an eye on your lymphoma and to save other treatments for when they are needed. There is lots of evidence that people do just as well in the long term if they are actively monitored and have other treatments kept until they are really needed.

    I will keep an eye open for you on the FL forum.
