Stage I follicular lymphoma

Stage I follicular lymphoma (FL)? I wouldn't expect there to be much of anything in terms of take-home prescriptions because, for one, FL is rarely caught in stage I, and for two, it's such an indolent or slow-growing cancer that treatments aren't often begun until the disease reaches the higher stages. In the event a patient with early stage FL does undergo treatment, it will likely involve radiation or limited chemotherapy, none of which is take-home.
