Rituxan Maintenance without a Port?
I had my 2nd Rituxan maintenance, blood work, and a doctor visit yesterday. My blood is back to normal--yay. It was slow coming up, but got there. All lymphoma markers are normal--yay! My doctor said we need to think about getting my port out. He said that even though it is being flushed monthly, there is still a chance of…

with Update-Refractory DLBCL
Hi all, If you remember my current onconlogist was thinking of moving me to R-ICE w/ SCT since my cancer did not react after the second R-CHOP treatment. More details in my other post. Anyway, he spoke with the folks at Roswell Park Cancer Institute (luckily on 10 miles from me). I met with a one of their doctors this…

11 ABVD down and 1 to go.
I remember 5 months ago I wrote a post saying “One ABVD down and 11 to go.”, now 11 down and 1 to go. I really didn’t have many posts but surely I was checking and following posts 1-3 times a week. As I am excited for getting close to be done with chemo, and looking for it to get married sometime within the next 6 months…

Refractory DLBCL - Anyone?
I had my second PET scan today. I've only had two R-CHOP treatments. Doctor is concerned that I'm not reacting to treatment like he first thought. Third R-CHOP is suppose to be on Friday, July 19th. I know I shouldn't self-diagnose but I've noticed the nodes along my jaw and in my pelvis the last 3-4 days. These areas were…

Bump in the Road
I was diagnosed with DLBCL Stage 4 toward the end of May 2013. It was not in my marrow. The reason for the Stage 4 was a dime size spot on my right lung. Treatment plan is R-CHOP every 3 weeks for 6-8 treatments. First treatment was 6/5 and by 6/7 the lymph nodes above the diaphragm were 'gone'. Had a transfusion on the…

Life (and death) go on
I've been absent from the forum for a bit. Things haven't been easy for me lately. I got a call from my husband to tell me that his Mother, my beloved mother-in-law had just died. I dropped everything and went to him. While she was still there, dead, on the bed, my brother called to tell me my father had just been admitted…

Pathology report said B Cell Lymphoma, nothing more...
Hello all, I had found a lump in my armpit in 2012, after sometime I went to my GP who in turn referred me to a general surgeon. Mid May I had my left axiliary lymph node removed for biopsy. The final pathology reports have now come back from the biopsy and indentify that it was B Cell Lymphoma. Nothing more, no specifics…

Possible thyroid cancer or lymphoma :(
Well, for over a year now I've had a rounded lump on the left side of my neck. I'd always assumed it was a swollen lymph node and didn't really pay any attention to it. About 2 months ago it occured to me just how long I'd had it and went to the Dr and wound up having an ultrasound done, they also looked at my thyroid.…
