I have low grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 3 places underarm, lung and abdomen and told as I have only a couple of symptoms I.e fatigue I will not be needing treatment for now just monitoring every three months, feel I’m one of the lucky ones.

  • Hi again  and welcome over to this corner of the community. 

    As I said in your post in the New to Community I was diagnosed back in 1999 at 43 with one of the various types of Low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma eventually reaching Stage 4a in late 2013 so although my Lymphoma ‘type’ may be different I do appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well.

    Active Monitoring (Watch and Wait) is often the way forward for a low grade NHL…… as I had a rare skin NHL I had to have skin treatments but it took about 14 years before I needed full on treatments.
