Non Hodgkins Lymphoma "watch and wait"?
Was on a Special Issuance for Follicular Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Had been on remission after radiation for the last 2 years. Failed my CAT then PET scans recently. Needle Biopsy came back as a slow growing Follicular Lymphoma. Doctor says I should get no treatment and do a "watch and wait". My AME is saying that is a no-go with the FAA (not sure I trust him 100% because he has been wrong before on other stuff). I am going to get a 2nd opinion from another oncologist and then send my stuff to the Regional Aerospace Medicine Office.
I was wondering if there is anyone on this board who has been down this road before. Anyone with slow growing Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and was/is not getting any treatment. Wondering how OKC looked at this? I did call OKC and they were no help but I am going to send my stuff to my Regional Office and they said they can give me an answer.
Thanks in advance
