Diffuse Large Cell Non-Holdgkins Lymphoma

My son in Law (38)was recently diagnosed with Diffuse Large cell non-hodgkins lymphoma and I would be interested to hear from someone who can tell me what he can expect. He was told that he has an elevated LDH level and tumor lisis. He had his first chemo today.

Hi, I was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Sept. 29, 2004. I started on R-CHOP chemo the secound week of Oct. My first recommendation would to get a Port A Cath. It was a god send! I had infusions on Mon. & Tues. every three weeks for 6 weeks. I then had more PET and CT scans that showed it wasn't all gone, so I had to have 2 more cycles. I am happy to say that I am now in remission...knock on wood. I go for my 3 month check-up 2st week of August. Please let me know any specific questions you may have. I'd love to try and help!

Hi:

Have had NHL for ten years. I am 51. Have been through much chemo,radiation, zebulan ect. The last large dose of chemo about 6 weeks ago effected my heart and now cancer was found in my breast that is large cell.
I am going in for a scan Monday Dec. 19th and then the Doctor will give me the results.
At this point I have so much pain in my left shoulder and arm and with the total fatige I can do very little.
My childern are 12-14 and 17 so they help a lot.

I have been going to a medical center here in Duluth Minnesota and have an excellent oncologist who I have much trust in but in that only a short time about a month after the zeblun ect. I now have develpoed breast cancer which I understand is more of an aggresive type-large cell.

I have been considering going to the Cancer Center of America in Zion, Il.

Before I decide on going there I want to see what my scan shows and what action will be taken.

I am also interested in ANY info on BEXXAR and IP6 with INOSITOL and what results of it that you are aware of.

I know I am I am in a fight for my life but I do have total family support, faith in my Oncologist and TOTAL FAITH IN the LORD and always think POSITIVE. I do plan on talking to the Oncology Specalist at Cancer Center of America as soon as I get the results of my scan which should be on Wed.

Hope to hear from you soon.

THANKS MUCH.

Debbie
