I was diagnosed with large B cell lymphoma back in 2022, did R Chop chemotherapy for 6 rounds. March 2025 was 2 years in remission. Then April 2025 I was told I had follicular lymphoma 1/2 grade, stage 3. It’s a sit and watch right now.

Lymphoma recurrence rates vary widely depending on the specific type and individual factors, but many people do experience changes in their cancer journey over time. Having a care team that's monitoring closely and taking a watch-and-wait approach when appropriate shows they're providing thoughtful, personalized care. This community understands the unique challenges of navigating these transitions, and connecting with others who have similar experiences can provide valuable perspective and support during this time.

I was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma in 23. I am a Vietnam vet and they say I got it from agent orange. The lymph nodes are 9 mm and doctor has me in a wait and see approach. I would like to know when your doctor said you have to do chemotherapy.
