I have been in remission for the second time.....first time lasted 3 years, so far this time around it has been 17 months. I have non-Hodgkin lymphoma. total time since being diagnosed is just over 5 years...I am a 70 year old female. I am happy to say I have a great support team, husband,daughter and of course my dr. Just wanted to give others some hope, that they can too hang in there for longer then (they predict) ! love and luck to you all.Patti
