You’re welcome!

Please update here later if you do give it a try. Curious if it works for other people or not.

I was recently diagnosed with early stage DLBCL with a lump on my right inner thigh about the size of tip of my thumb.

Took Mucinex DM pill for my cough before PET-CT scan. Noticed the lump shrinking afterwards. At first I thought it was the radioactive glucose through the IV which shrank the lump. The shrinking stopped after a few days.

Then I took Mucinex DM again for my cough. Noticed the lump started to shrink again. I stopped and started a few times. Every time I took Mucinex DM, the lumo shrank, and when I stopped the shrinking stopped as well.

Now my lump is almost completely gone and I haven’t started my chemotherapy treatment yet.

I know Mucinex DM is for cough and not a cure for lymphoma. It could be something else shrinking the lump.

I can’t explain what’s causing the lump to disappear except the observation I had regarding taking Mucinex DM.

I wasn’t seeking for alternative treatment for my DLBCL. I guess that any shrinking of the lump would definitely be a plus in hopefully reducing the dosage of chemotherapy or the number of treatment cycles.
