Hello, I have grade 3 Non Hodgkins Follicular Lymph and have been in remission for over 3 years. I had a full cycle of Ritux, but did not get maintenance therapy. The lymph nodes under my jaw and along my neck are prone to contstant swelling and contracting. I have tried every kind of naturalpathic drop, cream, pill and tea and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any advice or remedy for this?
thank you

" Hi Frank,
I have been in remission from follicular
b-cell lymphoma for 5 months. On my 3 month follow up with my oncologist, I showed him where there was "fullness" around the large lymph node I had had in my neck. He told me
as long as I couldn't feel the actual node itself that there was no cause for concern.
I don't know if that is what your experiencing, but I hope this helps out.
By the way, does your doc know about this?
Good luck and God Bless! "
