The second oncologist I saw just today at the Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center wants me to get 6-8 weeks of the drug rituximub (gotta learn to spell it!). So that was a shock. I am getting more blood tests and then will decide. Look up the possible side effects of this "miracle" drug and it's scary. At least it doesn't include hair loss!
Basically he disagreed that it was all indolent. Dr Chen thinks some of it may be more aggressive and we can head off a worse outcome.
For today I am starting taking reishi (mushroom) capsules as recommended by the naturopath and will fast tomorrow for a lipids blood test.
