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 Mab7866 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.
