Abbreviated TX Because Of Age
I am in remission from DLBCL. I was treated with Rituxin infusion every 21 days for 6 cycles. Also I took imbruvica and Revlimid orally. I am 88 y/o . Anyone else have similar TX?
Thank you for your reply. This is good to know. I’ve already stopped driving. I’m 90 and have marginal zone b lymphoma. I had an allergic reaction to my first trial infusion of rituxibam but now… read more

Hi Does Anyone Have Experience Of Treating A Localised Grade 1 FL By Surgically Removing The Tumour Before Treatment Is Needed?
FL grade 1 diagnosed in December 2020, with lesion confined to one tonsil with possibly some spreading to the lymph nodes in the neck (these are swollen). No symptoms apart from this.
The specialist recommends a watch and wait approach (with blood tests twice yearly) but I wonder if this is recommended simply because most lymphomas are NOT that localised and if it in this case it would be better to remove the tonsil and the swollen lymph nodes, such as would be done with a sarcoma type… read more
Many thanks for sharing this, @A MyLymphomaTeam Member - that's helpful.
Hi All, I Am Fairly New To The Group.
I have NH low grade in my chest. Awaiting a decision on treatment. I have a condition that is very intermittent where the tumor area causes discomfort and at the same time my body gets tingly. Some areas seem numb. Anyone experienced this? The cancer doc sent an anti- seizure. Seems like a lot of side affects listed. I haven’t tried it but after a few “good” days, now the tingling. Tumor hitting peripheral nerves?

Yes Please still feel that way for m two years ago.
What Have Been Your Rituximab Side Effects?
I, who am allergic to nothing, had a sneezing session that lasted about 20-30 minutes during my first infusion. My nose stuffed up and I could barely breathe. It all went away immediately when the nurse flushed the IV.
Then came the sub-q injection the next week. All was fine until 3 days later. I woke up with pain and fever on my abdomen, below the injection site. The area was swollen about the size of a deck of cards and painful to touch
The following morning (yesterday) it was more painful… read more
