Hi! I just finished my first round of DHAP chemo. This is my second attempt at salvage chemo. Little punks just keep holding on through all this chemo! Has anybody had this type before? Ive done rchop and rice before, but they haven't been even close to as bad as this kind!

    DHAP?
    HI
    I don't know what DHAP is. I had RCOP in 2009 and have been on rituxin maintenance every since. I had Follicular stage 3 NHL. What about you?

    Welcome to the Group
    Hi Cutie! Welcome to a wonderful group of knowledgeable Supporters! I had Treanda and Rituxan together. I have not seen anyone talk about DHAP on this site yet, so will be interesting what gets posted. Talk to you soon! Hugs! janelle

    I have Diffuse Large B Cell. It was stage 3 back in September. I've been in stage 1 since November. Just trying to kill off these last two little masses that keep on hanging in there each time I do chemo.

    Hello,

    What is DHAP chemo??

    That's great news from stage 3 to stage 1. I will be praying for you the last
    2 little masses disappear.

    Love Maggie

    its crazy! its a salvage chemo they use if the standard types like r chop dont work. its my third kind of chemo that im trying because i stopped responding to the others. its awful, that side effects suck! the nausea is insane, and the ringing in your eyes is loud its just bad.

    You sound just like me! 2 spots left after RCHOP then boom - DHAP! I actually didn't think that I felt as bad aftr DHAP. I think it was because I didn't have to take that awful prednisone! But - let's hope it works! Good luck to you.
