stopping treatment short of remission?

I came down with NHL in 1986. Was treated with CVP for 6 months and went into remission until this year. All thru the 23 years of remission, some nodes would get a little bigger and some smaller. I had no treatment during those 23 years. Doctor said my immune system was taking care of it. Now my doctor feels I need medication because of the location of some of the enlarged nodes. I will be taken Rituxan for 4 weeks and pray that it will go back into remission. I bet that's what your doctor is planning on doing. He wants to see if your immune system will handle it. So what you and I need to do is find some sort of herb, vitamin or something that will help our immune system battle this disease. I posted a thread about pomegranate juice helping the immune system, but have got no replies. Good luck to both of us.

I always ask question and always tell my wonderful Dr , it's not that I don't trust him but I want to know. I would immagine your Dr. feels you are controlling the lymphoma and he does not need to give you anymore. I would not worry. They have been treating Lymphoma for many years and your Dr. knows when to wait and watch as they call it.
