My husband has been in remission from Mantle Cell Lymphoma for almost 4 years. He has been ill for 3 weeks with vague symptoms of sore throat, fatigue and strange, spontaneous tendon pain and swelling. Should I get him back to the haematologist?

While four years cancer free

While four years cancer free is a good long time, it doesn't mean he's out of the woods. Granted his odds of it recurring after four years are pretty low, you always want to be certain. it sounds like he's got symptoms that are troublesome no matter what, so at the very least it seems he should see a doctor, and considering his history, a hematologist makes the most sense especially one who knows him.
