I've had 3 treatments for Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma had PET scan done Thursday read results and the mass I have in my back has shrunk by a good bit won't know how much till Monday. It's always a good day especially when you get good news when you're dealing with cancer.

What wonderful news to hear that the mass is responding well to treatment! Many patients with DLBCL do see positive changes after just a few cycles, and this early shrinkage is certainly encouraging. Wishing you continued strength as you await the detailed results on Monday, and hoping others in the community can share their experiences with treatment progress as well.

Great news David & Tim. I have/had stage 4 large B cell lymphoma. In the hospital for a week. 6 rounds of chemo. CAT scan after 3rd round looked promising. About 3 weeks after my last chemo, they did a PET scan. When we met with my oncologist, he said no cancer cells were visible and I was in remission. Happy day. Make sure you eat & stay hydrated.

My last DLCBL treatment was 8/24. R-EPOCH for me as well. No hospitalization for me. Now 1.75 years out from diagnosis.

Wonderful, Marguerite! How did you do R-EPOCH at home? Just continuous chemo for 5 days and the growth shot day 6? Incredible. I never had that option but not sure I would have opted for it. Good for you! We. Are.Warriors! 10/24/25 is my year date of ringing the bell๐Ÿ””๐Ÿ””๐Ÿ”” Right around the corner!!!
