Trying to get diagnosed
Thank you all for being so friendly on this board. I have read through many posts and you all seem so supportive. I will try to keep this short.

New to the site & needing advice
Hello all, New member here! My father was recently diagnosed with NHL-diffused large B cell. He's had 2 treatments of R-CHOP, so far with few side effects. The one that has been the most bothersome is the taste change, not so much with food, but with what he drinks. Its the normal metallic taste that goes along with alot…

Sue,are you there?
Sue, I haven't seen any post from you in the past couple of days. That either means you are taking a break or the chemo is dragging you down. If it is the chemo you will probably start feeling a little more strength in the last days just before your last session. You are going to have to take it easy though so you can…

New day, New post
Hi All, Thank you all for the kind words and caring support. I really needed to hear/read that. I woke up feeling a lot less scared and a lot more angry. I think anger is much better that fear. I am ready to find the solutions. I know in my heart that I need to go elsewhere for tx. I will still get the bmb, us, mri at…
