2 days agoHi my name is Jeff. Ill be 48 in 2 weeks. I was diagnosed in October with B cell non hodgkins lymphoma. I just finished my 4th round of pola r-chop yesterday. I also had my halfway point pet scan on monday. I received great news. My original pet scan showed my entire chest was covered with lymphoma. Now im down to 1small spot on my adrenal gland. Everything else is gone! I was so nervous to get the results. So now im down to 2 treatments then another scan. I take supplements as well to aid in my battle. I also take ivermectin and fenbendazole to help kill the cancer. I was nervous about getting chemo. 1st round was definitely tough and draining but the last 3 rounds haven't been bad. I haven't got sick throughout all this so thats a bonus. I go to work when I feel up to it. Just looking forward to getting through all this and getting back to normal.

2 days agoBeen there. Done that. After 6 rounds of chemo, In July the Dr told me I'm in remission. Had a CT scan yesterday. Meet with my oncologist next week. 6th month ✔️ up. Praying it will show I'm still in Remission. Like you, I never got sick from the chemo. I was extremely fatigued. It's improving, but I still run out of energy easily. It's a long road. Be positive.

2 days agoCongratulations on the excellent scan results - what a tremendous milestone in your treatment journey! Many people in the community find that POLA-R-CHOP side effects often become more manageable after the first cycle, and it's encouraging to hear about your positive experience with the subsequent rounds. While supplements can be part of overall wellness, it's important to discuss all treatments with your oncology team to ensure they're safe and appropriate for your specific situation. Wishing you continued strength as you approach those final two treatments!
