SMZL splenic marginal zone lymphoma
A new thread for this topic. The old 2010 thread is hard to follow.
Just an update
Sorry for not being up to date on PMs. However to those who are interested, my port was taken out today. Sore but otherwise a walk in the park compared to chemo. I am still not 100% NED but am taking Rituxan which I can easily handle through my arms. I have good veins. I will get a new port if it is needed but for now I…
Is my Hodgkin’s back after 35 years?
i had Hodgkin’s when I was 12 in the early 80s. Stage IV in neck and left lung. I was treated with 6 month of chemo and 1 month of radiation. Cancer free for 35 years. Following a ct scan in June for a kidney stone, they found a 3.3 cm tumour on my left kidney. They are 90 percent sure that it is Renal Cell Carcinoma but…
Cutaneous Lymphoma
Toxo and Lymphoma
In the USA about 20% of the population tests positive for latent toxoplasmosis. In Western Europe, where eating raw meat is considered sophisticated, the infection rate jumps to 55%. In eastern Europe and Brazil it is estimated to be 70%-80%. Those folks are beginning to take this parasite quite seriously. It is an…
drink
I am on my 2nd chemo treament. I am not able to find anything that taste good to drink any suggestions.
PET Scan results question?
Finished 6 R-CHOP for DLBCL, had a PET scan. It shows "completer metabolic response to therapy" for previous diagnosed tumors . However, it also states "new mild metabolic activity has developed in lower lungs". Anyone else have metastasis from DLBCL to the lungs? I see the oncologist later this week.
Some advice - Follicular Lymphoma as Second Cancer
I have been a member and on the Colorectal forum. Diagnosed Feb 2015 with Stage 3A. Had surgery, Folfox and radiation treatment and reversal of an ileostomy and finished June 2016. Since then had clean CEA bloodwork and positive follow-up appointments. Noticed in Sept 2017, swelling in the corner of my left eye. Short…
Marginal zone lymphoma
Lymphoma with bonemarrow biopsy
Bonemarrow biopsy So I had a bonemarrow biopsy done a week ago. Dr seemed nonchalant and did say I should get a second opinion with Moffit..which I’m Ok with..but she did say she wants me to have 2 iron infusions one week apart..it seems my body does not absorb it well... also have a history of low grade b lymphoma...the…
Weight gain, harder to lose after NHL treatment
it’s been two years since my last round of chemo. I’m exercising 4-6 days / week, and haven’t changed my diet. I’m finding it hard to drop weight, and actually seem to put it on faster than ever. Anyone else experience this after R-CHOP?
Just diagnosed with Mantle Cell
Hope you are reading this new thread Todd and hope you saw Max's reply on the old one. First off I do want to say that with you having no symptoms, you may be put on Wait and Watch. When I first heard about it, I was skeptical but now I totally understand and agree with the reasoning. The thought is that as long as you are…

Having a hard time with life in remission
Hey guys, so little summary I am 25 was diagnosed about a year ago with a 12cm mass pushing on my heart. Went through R-EPOCH 21day cycle 6 days in patient and 14 out to recover. Lost all my hair, gained a lot of weight, had to move into my boyfriend's mom's house since I couldn't work or pay rent, had my car stolen, and…
Help with getting a formal diagnosis
I will try to keep this as concise as possible. The first piece of important information is I am uninsured. In January I went to the ER because I had symptoms of severe hypokalemia, which is something I had been through previously. I also just didn't feel well in general. I had several swollen lymph nodes, I was fatigued…
Bleomycin VS Brentuximab
Does anyone have experience with Bleomycin and Brentuximab? For my first two treatments I was given Bleomycin and have noticed a tightness in my chest, almost to the point of being a pain. Now the doctor tells me he is switching me to Brentuximab which is supposed to be better according to him. I just wanted to get some…
Long 2 months
Good story here for now. It was a long 2 months of worry. I’m not sure how to get past the worry part or how to lessen it. I still have lung issues, the nodules come and go. However I have been told by 2 doctors that it is highly unlikely it’s lymphoma again. I’m going with that for now! I’m coming up on 2 years post SCT!!
