Have any of you developed "new" cancers after having NHL? My brother had NED for over 10 years and 2 years ago he developed rectal cancer. Now it has metastasized to his lungs and liver. Do the chemo drugs cause other cancers later in life? Just wondering...

    Hi Uncle Buddy

    I can't answer your question but I wanted you to know how sorry I am to hear about your brother's cancer. I also want you to know how much I respect you for taking such good care of him.

    I wish for the best for both of you. . .

    Thanks Rocquie

    I met another person on this site who started with NHL years back and now has colon cancer. I was just wondering how many others are out there.

    Thank you for your kind words.
