CANCER STABILIZED

Hello Folks: I had a very good Oncologist for about 3 years. He decided to leave and departed the end of August 2014. The cancer clinic is part of a nearby hospital. I miss him; had a good rapport, which is important. His replacement is very good too, but the rapport is gone. Well, anyway, I have had what the Onc. calls, "Marginal Zone Lymphoma." Had Rituxan infusions for about two years. The Lymphoma has "stabilized," for lack of a better word, and I will return for another visit with the doctor in six months. Nancy |

Excellent
The doc must view your disease as very indolent or slow-moving if he does not need to see you for six months, Nancy.
My educated guess is that this means you have a lot of healthy years ahead of you ! I read it as an excellent report, and hope I'm right. I hope you can feel this way too.
Bless ya,

Cancer Stabilized
Hi Max:
Thanks for the note. Apparently nothing happening at the moment. The doc. said that doctors don't use the word, "remission." So I used the word, "stablized." What the heck. Happy something positive happened after 2 years of Rituxin infusions. I feel quite positive about it. Not a spring chicken, however.
After reading one of your posts, it sounds as if you are doing very well. Great. Bless you, too.
