Dear wonderful people, I am here once again because state health wouldn't assist me. I have taken my mum to the medical unit ever so often and all they do is a full blood count.

Auto Stem Cell Transplant for MCL
Soon I will have to decide if I want to elect to do an Auto Stem Cell transplant for my Mantle Cell Lymphoma or just Rituxin maintenance.

Likely.....
Hello friends, old and new.... I was diagnosed with advanced S-3 HL in 2009, and went into complete remission (c.r.) very readily, during or before the end of six months of R-ABVD. It has mostly been worry-free complete remission since, except for a few occurrences of anemia, although some episodes of anemia were serious,…

Hilar lymphadenopathy
I was in the ER Saturday for what had been diagnosed as cellulitis 2 weeks earlier. I had many tests including a chest X-ray followed by a CT scan that showed bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy.

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…

Losing my hair
Most of you have gone through this a long time ago, but it is my current reality. In the long run, this will seem less catastrophic but for me this was a reason that I seriously considered delaying or refusing traditional chemo. It may sound vain, but it totally rocked my world off kilter. I was not blessed with beauty or…
Port Removal
I have been in remission just over one year. My last scans were completely clear and my doctor suggested removal of my Port. To me it feels premature right now. I'm thinking he may just not want to tie up his staff having to flush it every 6 weeks. Although I'm NED, psychologically it does not feel like it's over and the…
