Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hello. I am new here. My name is Dave Khaliel and I have been diagnosed with stage 1 undifferentiated indolent follicular lymphoma since 12/2008. " Wait and watch " became " we have to treat " as the disease was rapidly progressing through my lungs (non-indolently as it were) and I got to where I could barely breathe. R-CVP seemed to clear the PET scan completely but I elected an additional 2yr course of rituximab. After 3 doses in, a lump appeared on my back, was excised and biopsied as large B-cell lymphoma. A further, larger excision still showed atypical lymphoid cells around the margins (but PET scan still otherwise completely clear) so I am to begin a 28 treatment radiation therapy procedure on the area starting tomorrow. Cancer-wise that is my story in a nutshell. I am a married 68 yo retired pharmacist (wife also retired) with an interest in photography, shooting (firearms), computers and British TV shows. My best to all.
