Some answers

I emailed the two oncologists at UCLA this morning and they have both responded. How very nice of them to reply so quickly. I sent them a big laundry list of questions and Dr. T said he'll call me tomorrow afternoon to answer them. Very interesting though. They said they have received back the new pathology report and the UCLA pathologists found follicular lymphoma in the original biopsy materials (9/10). So, Dr. Kubba and Dr. T were correct in their speculation that both cancers developed at the same time... The follicular lymphoma just developed so slowly that we just now found it in the newest scans. This means the original pathology was correct EXCEPT they missed the follicular lymphoma. Hmmm... So, I had NSHL (classical Hodgkin disease) and the ABVD put that cancer into remission. I also HAD and HAVE non-Hodgkin B-cell follicular lymphoma and hopefully the rituxan will grant me a remission from it. Dr. T noted that I was of "some interest" to their pathologists. Yeah.
