Hi, I don’t have follicular lymphoma but one that has the same treatment as it. There are probably lots of people on watch and wait. It just means that it’s a slow growing cancer and it would not benefit for treatment yet. I’ve read many stories about people being on watch and wait for many years. I had stage 3 NHL with B symptoms. As the nodes were very enlarged at side of my lungs they decided at the multi disciplinary team meeting that I needed chemo. It’s an incurable cancer so I will be on watch and wait probably for a very long time now. The good thing is you are on the system and they will watch out for you. If your husbands symptoms change they will prob do further scans etc. I would have thought exactly the same as you if I’d been told that the first time round. Take care x
