Originally diagnosed with MALT Lymphoma 02/16 in Sigmoid Colon, was successfully resected with good margins during routine Colonoscopy, subsequent scans, BMB, blood work all normal went on "wait and watch". Had relapse slightly different spot of Sigmoid Colon 06/17 (16 months) and now am on Rituxan Therapy. Couple questions anyone else out there with MALT of the Sigmoid Colon? AND as this is suppose to be a very Indolent Lymphoma isn't 16 months a rather fast relapse?

     Hi Chfox,

    I see that this is your first post to the forum, so a very warm welcome.

    I am sorry to hear about your worries re spread of MALT Lymphoma. I am afraid that I cannot help you because I have had two bouts of breast cancer and know nothing about this type of cancer. Can I suggest that you use the search engine on the blue banner at the top of this page to search for ‘MALT Lymphoma’? This will bring up some of the over 1000 previous posts on this subject.

    I hope that the Rituxan therapy is more effective for you.

    Now that you’ve found us, please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you whenever you feel like talking.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, chfox338745 although I am sorry for the reason that brings you here.

    When I read your post I thought of another post where another member, [@Malstan]‍ was looking to chat with someone in a similar situation so I thought I might tag them here and perhaps you two can have a chat?

    Also, feel free to ring our cancer nurses if you'd like to ask them a few questions. They are available to take your call Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this number: 0808 400 4040.

    Best wishes,
