How long does it take?
A patient who very recently received radioimmunotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma asked me how long it takes for the lymph nodes to shrink and, ultimately, disappear.
I can respond only based upon my personal experience and comments made to me by other patients.
My impression is that the nodes can "melt away" as quickly as 1-2 weeks after therapy or as long as several weeks.
Again, this is the comment of a patient and not an oncologist.
