Nov 12, 2021 platelet count was 85. Has been holding in this range for the past 4 months. Been on this med for about a year and seeing doctor about every 90 days. Lab work every 30 days. A "wait and see" approach to dealing with my lymphoma.

Good morning - Just read your 'journey' entries.I am glad that your platelet count is holding. I'm not familiar with the particular Rx you are on but very familiar with the 'wait and see' period.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 double hit (aggressive) large B cell lymphoma in 2018 when I was 75. Lots of tests, chemo and transfusions for low red blood cell counts etc.
You do spend a lot of time in labs and waiting rooms don't you - part of the journey.
The chemo was not successful and I went to a clinical trial of an immunotherapy approach called CAR-T. Arduous but, ultimately successful.
You have many people on this site who are either in remission or still actively fighting their cancers - all rooting for you.
Let us know how you are doing please - Best wishes0
