Has Anyone Gone Through EPOH-R Treatment For DLBCL?

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have changed treatments and am now doing R-EPOH due to some elevated markers in the detailed pathology. It was done out of an abundance of caution from my Care team and after discussing it with my wife and some consultants, it seemed the right course of action. It requires me to receive this in the hospital for 5 days, every 3 weeks. Not ideal, but we will need to do what we think is best for a cure on our journey. This may be a repeat post, but I am curious if anyone out there is doing/has… read more

Thank You for the candid information. I didn’t have the double hit but had high markers so the team thought this was the way to go. I appreciate the information.

I Have Been Diagnosed With DLBCL And Am Currently Receiving EPOH-R For A Treatment.I Am Wondering If Anyone Is Taking Supplements

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

See question above. Has anyone discussed with a nutritionist or oncology doctor taking a multiple vitamin, vitamin D2 or K3, or any other supplement either recommended or thought to assist in the recovery or treatment plan. I have done some reading and some supplements act as blood thinners, which certainly wouldn’t help in my case. Looking for some insight from those with experience, any help would be appreciated!

No I was given a print out and went to the vitamin cottage.

Could It Be That The 'hot Spot' Seen In My Last PET Scan Is A Result Of Something Else, Ie. Scar Tissue, Inflammation, Not Still Lymphoma?

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been receiving Pola-R Chop chemo for DLBCL since May, and had my last dose in September. Interim PET scans still showed some remaining activity. I was really hopeful that my final PET scan would show complete response, but it seems like there may be evidence of 'disease progression', ie. one remaining area of persistent uptake, where the original large lump was located. It is not in a position where a biopsy can be done, so I have to have another PET scan in a few weeks' time to see if it… read more

MaryPearson,
Hi! I've heard and read on this site that some have a hot spot that is scar tissue or inflammation. Good luck on your upcoming scan. Kelly

Okay Buddies- I Want Some Advice. If You Have Done A Course Of Treatment With Rituximab (or Similar Monoclonal Antibody) What Was It Like??

I have been diagnosed with Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma in March. I’m doing “watch and wait” but I think I might go for the treatment because all I do all night is sweat and I get every virus that comes near me. I want to feel better. Is it work it?

A MyLymphomaTeam Member

I had four weekly Rituxan infusions in August that killed all B-affected cancer cells and all other B cells. I had no reaction except initial sleepiness because of the Benedryl they include in the IV… read more

I Have Classic HL 2a Unfavorable - Bulky Mass (8cm) Oct 2022. A CT Done Nov 2021 Missed A 4 Cm Mass. How Much Did This Change My Outcome?

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

EBCT done 2021 was done at Hospital A and lung portion read normal . 2022 CT where diagnosis was done and all tests until Aug 2024 were done at Hospital B. CT done Aug 2024 was back at Hosp A and it was noted that there was a mass in 2021 that was missed. How much did this delay change my dx? . Sxs at diagnosis were cough, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and rash.
I have residual brain fog, neuropathy , sleep issues and have not worked since Oct 2022

Victor, Rituxan has a long half-life and continues working in your body 6 months or more after the last dose. Everyone is different and fatigue is the #1 symptom of lymphoma. Take this time to rest… read more

Can Someone Explain The "watch And Wait" Reasoning For Treatment?

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chicago, IL

I was just diagnosed a week ago and don't meet with my doctor to discuss next steps until after the new year. He mentioned possibly doing "watch and wait" method and I've read a lot that backs that up, which really surprises me. Why would you wait until things got worse to pursue any type of treatment?

Waiting every 3 months for my blood levels to get back to normal.
