kartoz, you are correct about the use of C/T vs PET. That said, the only time I have had C/T is as part of the scoping process for radiation. Well, one other by the doc I fired which showed nothing...

I jhust saw this, Robert, and am very sorry to hear yur news, of course. The Rit will make a real difference for you if it can be tolerated, hopefully that will be the case. I can understand your...

Hi Xine. What your doctor said is, in its own perverse way when dealing with fNHL, perfectly logical. One question i do have is why your doctor is using C/T scan instead of PET? PET is more...

Hi Christine, and welcome to the place no one wants to be but many come to value. I have had low grade fNHL for about five years now and, except for a try with radiation treatments early on, have...

Hey, Jody, Happy Belated Mother's Day, I hope it was all you wanted it to be! Sorry I missed it but also wanted to chime in with my admiration for how you continue to be an example and a leader for...

Hi CnaLisa44 and welcome to the place no one wants to be but many come to value. It sounds like your Dad is getting the right tests to begin treatment. The Bone Marrow Biopsy is a very useful tool...

Exactly the point, Bank, exactly the point! Congratulations!!!

Hi Daniel and welcome. We had to delete your photos as we do not allow them on this site as policy. I hope you understand. The botom line is that your GF should go see a doctor, ideally a...

I could be wrong but I think that SCT is rarely used for an initial return of fNHL. I would think this is especially true if the initial therapy was R-CVP as one of the reasons that this has been...

What great news, congratulations! May your remission last all of your days and this run in with the beast be behind you forever!!! I am very, very happy for you, Missy Moo.

Good health,

Hey David, how are you? I will make a choice, that much is known (and the point). Even in your enthusiasm (which I love) you listed off about six different choices above..

I was looking at the...

Yeah it does, po18guy, it does. The challenge for people like me is making a choice with insufficient long term data about outcomes. I know full well that I will have to make one and that it is...
