Hello All,
3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I am a 28 yr. old male, in otherwise good health and shape.
I have a bit of a dilemma...after my surgeon gave me the diagnosis I scheduled consults with two different physicians. They both concurred with the diagnosis but they each suggested a drastically different course of action.
The first Dr. suggested we start aggressive treatment right away and start looking towards a bone marrow transplant as the best option. The second doctor suggested that, because I have no symptoms that we should take a "watchful waiting" approach.
Both paths seem to have their pluses & minuses...has anyone been in a similar situation and is there some advice you can offer?
