I am 63 years of age and am active
professionally as an engineer, offering consultancy for ISO 9000 and as a valuer
of assets. In 1994, I was diagnosed to have non-hodgkin's lymphoma. At present,
I am under treatment under a reputed oncologist of Ahmedabad, India. I am still
not on Chemo-therapy and the only medication given by the oncologist is a
vitamin B pill, once daily. I had swellings in the neck region twice so
far and they disappeared without medication. Generally, I am quite active and do
my work without any hitch. I do not feel any debility or nor have fever, which
is usually a problem with patients of my type.
I am curious to know what is likely to be the
progress of this disease in the time to come. How long am I likely to live? (My
doctor is non-commital on this score).
