In Remission from StageIV Mantle Cel

[Judyhoneycomb]

In remission, Stage IV NHL Mantle Cel... I was diagnosed in March 2015. I am in remission after RCHOP and Rituxan. I just had my port removed yesterday after my PET scan showed no sign of cancer. I honestly can say that in the beginning I didn't think I would be here to celebrate my upcoming birthday this March 2018. Never give up hope and I thank my Doctor/and chemo team for taking such good care of me and caring for me. My husband was my Saint along with my family and many prayer warriors. I had a few days I couldn't pray for myself and am so thankful others were there for me to ask God for healing and my remission. My mantra was FROG... Forever Rely on God ... Prayers answered...🐸 Judyhoneycomb

Hi Judyhoneycomb, Congratulations! My partner has Mancel Cell and had the same treatment as yourself. Unfortunately, after a few years it came back. He is now on a wonderful drug called Ibrutinib and is doing so well. He will be having a scan later in the year to see if the Cancer has finally gone. I wish you all the best of luck!

[Judyhoneycomb in reply to pollyg2016]

I hope he does well with the Ibrutinib. He is lucky to have you there to support and encourage him..

Hello Judy, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 MC Lymphoma in May of 2012. I went through chemo, stem cell transplant (my own cells). After 20 months it came back so once again I had chemo and this time had a bone marrow transplant using my brothers cells. Once again it lasted 20 months and came back. I am now on Imbrutinib (Imbruvica) and have been for 12 months. This drug has work extremely well for me. Started off on 4 day until my liver result went very high. Taken off Imbruvica for 4 weeks then went on a different cholestral tablet (Pravastatin) and reduced Imbruvica to two a day. Everything settled down and now good. Have just gone up to 3 Imbruvica tablets a day. No problems. Hoping to go on Car-T cell trials this year Car-T cell is said to be a cure. Everyone is different but stay positive, it does help. Doug

[Judyhoneycomb]

Thank you Doug for your reply and explaining your condition and meds. Keep your spirits up and may this bring you to good health...

Hello, Judy! I'm 58, Brazilian, and living with MCL since 2009. I had RCHOP (2009) and autologus transplant in my first relapse in 2012. It came back again in 2017 and using since then Ibrutinib, with fantastic response and absolutely no side effects. I believe that we are lucky with all these new approaches, including CAR T CELL therapy, next step of treatment. All the best foi you!

[Judyhoneycomb]

Thank you, I'm glad you are having positive treatments and may you continue to stay in remission. I'm still in remission, just tired all the time and feet have neuropathy. Wishing the best back to you... I am old. Will be 80 in March. I have had a great life, and we just celebrated 60 years of marriage. Thank you for your good wishes.

[lumedeiros in reply to Judyhoneycomb]

What a blessing, to have such wonderful life. I hope that you stay in remission and the unpleasant neuropathy go away!

[Judyhoneycomb]

Thank you and may your treatment continue to heal you....
