I turned 30 this year. I had a mini allo transplant after 7 different chemotherapy regimens. It was successful! They don’t officially consider you cured until five years post transplant but so far so good! I couldn’t find many blogs about transplants for follicular lymphoma so I created one when I was going through it. Please share with anyone with a similar diagnosis and I hope that it brings hope to others. <br /><br />Baldnbeautiful.weebly.comLaurenhttp://baldnbeautiful.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781671514856579833.post-53315071551145285532016-02-11T11:07:05.879-05:002016-02-11T11:07:05.879-05:00Hi all

Their study reports ( 2008, 2012 ) are very encouraging, and such an allogeneic SCT might be a very good option for early relapsers at least. In any case it is good to know, that there are some curative approaches.<br />Maybe the future brings also other, milder targeted therapies, as such a SCT probably is not a easy thing to go through.<br />Best regardsTom68https://www.blogger.com/profile/06801257416999076633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781671514856579833.post-29402161721657228032016-02-10T13:20:40.733-05:002016-02-10T13:20:40.733-05:00First of all, I'd like to say thank you for yo...First of all, I'd like to say thank you for your blog. At the age of 43, I was diagnosed in November with FL. I completed weekly x4 Rituxin in December. I'm happy to say I just received my scan results last week and I had a complete response to treatment. Now I will be in watch and wait. It's been a challenging time and when I found your blog while waiting for my scan, it was very helpful to find your story of living with FL for eight years now with only one treatment. I also very much appreciate the latest research and info on FL. You are a great resource! <br />On the topic of alleogeneic transplant, through the L&L Society's peer to peer program, I was matched with two young FL survivors (42 year old today but diagnosed at 36 and 51 years old today and diagnosed at 46) both of whom went through allenogeneic transplant and consider themselves cured. I was puzzled that both had a similar story and made me wonder whether younger patients were more likely or maybe had more aggressive FL since both were diagnosed after exhibiting B symptoms like myself. One was out of choices because she was chemo resistant and the other actively sought the transplant at his time for second treatment because he required chemo at that time and wanted hope of a cure on the back end of the treatment. The process for both of them was harrowing but they now had peace of mind from being cured that I was envious of as I begin adjusting to my life to living with cancer. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
