Hi
Im 58 and first had Angioimmunoblastic T cell Lymphoma 9 years ago. Treated with 6 sessions of Chemo I happily reached remission. 3 years ago I relapsed and had in house chemo for 6 months and prep for a Auto transplant. That left me pretty immobile but a good result that now I can say was so worth every struggle of that treatment.
I never asked but thought that this Auto Stem Cell Transplant being successful was a cure... In August I started scratching like a flea bitten old blanket and now I’m being checked out again. I haven’t read much on Lymphoma for a couple of years but did see in Wikipedia that Auto transplants with my cancer often come back... I guess I should realistically face this possibility.
The big questions I would like to ask is what they are looking for in my blood tests (as both previous cancer diagnosis showed good blood results), I’m curious now as I have no other symptoms like before - just itching...?
Secondly, would they rule me out from having another transplant based on the fact that I’ve had one already?
Anyone on here had their cancer come back three times? More than one SCT or suffer from the same cancer?
My Dad died with this at 29 so guess I’m doing well on the positive ha ha
