I Have Testical Lymphoma COO: GCB, Testicle Has Been Removed. Pet/CT, Bone Biopsy And Lumbar Puncture All Clean
No B-symptoms, no elevated LDH,… all protein blood tests in normal range.
Discussion 3 or 4 cycles of R-CHOP. Any experiences or information what to choose?
I did 4! Per the Flyer trial. The 4th supposedly is the get the “last” bit after the CR at three cycles. Again, I had my oncologist choose ultimately. Let me know what you do!
Hey Nusch,
I have stage 2 DLBCL and I did 4 RCHOP treatments with two additional treatments of rituximab. I’m in my eighth month of remission. I had a CR on my PET scan after 3 full cycles. I did one more RCHOP then the two rituximab treatments.I was able to do the Flyer trial at Levine. You can research that if interested in the Flyer trial for less treatments based on stage, tumor bulk and IPI scores .I trusted my Oncologist on helping me decide.
I have a friend that did 6 full RCHOP treatments even though she had a complete response as her oncologist said the last two would destroy “the crumbs left” of her DLBCL.
Good luck and yay on the all clear ❤️
Nusch,
Hi! I had 6 treatments of RCHOP chemo. I have/had DLBCL stage IV I've been in remission for about 2 yrs. Good luck on your decision. Kelly
So happy for you!!!
Thx and I will!
I Was Just Diagnosed With DLBCL, Based On Positive In Removed Tonsil. PET Scan And Bone Marrow Are Clean. Is RCHOP Necessary?
Has Anyone With DLCBL Had Radiation Therapy Following Chemotherapy? Could You Advised Why You Went Through It And Your Experience?
Has Anyone Ever Been Diagnosed With Two Different Types Of Lymphoma?
