Dear @Lea
Many thanks for posting your question and I hope that you are well?
May I ask whether you are on treatment for Follicular Lymphoma at the moment? If you are on treatment to manage your Follicular Lymphoma then any consideration around surgery should be discussed with your Haematology team. This is because surgery when on treatment can be complicated further due to the risks of infection and bleeding that some treatments have.
If you are not on treatment at the moment, then a discussion with your team around this would always be recommended as communication between Haematology and the Surgical team would need to occur before any recommendations are made.
Do give us call if you would like to talk this through: Blood cancer information and support by phone and email | Blood Cancer UK
Kind regards
Gemma
