How Effective Are Rituxan And Bendamustine In Treating Mantle Cell Lymphoma?
Question: what is the likelihood that a male person age 77 years of age, with stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma, that has invaded his spleen, is in multiple lymph nodes, and is starting treatment with Rituxan and Bendamustine will be capable of actively participating as a witness is a week long stressful court proceeding at any point in the future?
Brief Answer:
It all depends on the general condition of your health.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Although aggressive, it is no longer a hopeless disease as an intensive approach of therapy improves the prognosis. Unfortunately, there is no single answer for your question. It all depends upon the condition of your general health. If you have an otherwise proper overall health status, there should be no problems in actively participating as an witness in court proceedings. But your health conditions might not be stable or may vary with time. In such a case, if alternatives are available, it is probably better to opt for them.
I hope you understand.
