Item 11. WHAT IS THE LONG TERM FUTURE LIKE?

After the four months of chemo the patient will most likely be in remission. (If remission hasn't occurred, adjustments will be made to assure remission). In the first six months she can travel, but after that, no traveling will be allowed until there is satisfaction regarding the trial drug Zevalin. Over at least four years she will be checked for any recurrence. As long as the lymph nodes remain their normal size of about 1 centimeter, she will live a long and happy life. The lymphoma will most likely be present but in dormant mode, which is harmless. If there is any resurgence in growth of lymph nodes, simple techniques can be implemented to correct things.
