Just had a phone conversation with UCLA oncologist Dr. T. We discussed my pathology reports and he pointed out that the follicular lymphoma was so very small at the time of my original biopsy that it would have been quite easy to miss. I guess it's a whole lot easier to spot when you know to look for it. We discussed the anti-PD1 antibody and how it is THOUGHT to work. Apparently the reason I can't find much literature about it is... There is none. Little to no human testing has been done at this time so it's really all just speculation. The thing is that my case is just what they need for their studies. I am SO hoping not relapse (Hodgkin) and tht my non-Hodgkin will respond well to the rituxan. We'll see what the future brings. He feels my prognosis is good. Dr. T says they will be writing a paper about my case. Oh boy. He is going to call and speak with Dr. Kubba. I'm hoping he'll have time to do so before I go for my next treatment on Friday.
