Hi . I am newly diagnosed with low grade B cell lymphoma. I am on the watch and wait treatment plan. Lately I have been experiencing fatigue, achiness and headaches. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms? Thank you

Yes I had a few days that were not simply good- but just prepare yourself and ask your Dr questions so you won't be too fearful. It can be overwhelming but positivity and prayer actually help, I am telling you such with much experience ☺️. Best wishes

Hello CharlieFreeman. You answered my question back in May. I have since been to my doctor for the 3 month check up in July. All was ok. I have recently been experiencing low back pain and left hip pain. I have had this over the course of my life ,but for some reason I can' t get relief from it this time. I have been going to PT for 5 weeks. Have you ever heard if this could be related to lymphoma? I hope all is going well for you.

Best to check with your doc. I had (and still have) indolent B cell lymphoma, probably for several years without any diagnosis. My main symptoms were weight loss, drenching night sweats, easy bruising and occasional nose bleeds. But, the literature also lists your symptoms as part of the disease. Looking back now I wish I'd been diagnosed before it became a problem.

Not to worry you unnecessarily, in extremely rare instances indolent lymphoma can turn aggressive, like in something less than 3% of all lymphomas. Mine did, requiring the full on aggressive chemo treatment. The treatment worked for me, I'm currently cancer free, but am told I'll always have the indolent version. So far symptom free, but it's only been a few months. If I were you I'd talk with my doc, better to catch it early.
