Hello, I was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-cell and Follicular Lymphoma. I just finished my last round of Pola-R-Chip chemo and I am waiting for my PET Scan to be scheduled. I have two more rounds of immunotherapy alone. My doctor said I had a 50% chance of remission for 5 years or less. My question is for those who have experienced remission. How long were you in remission between treatments? How long did it take for your body to recover? My liver enzymes have been crazy high as is my LDH and glucose. My doctor said this was all treatment related.

Remission length varies greatly between individuals, and recovery time depends on many factors including the specific treatment received and overall health. Many community members have shared their experiences with both the physical recovery process after treatment and the emotional journey of living with uncertainty about remission duration. The liver enzyme and other lab value changes mentioned are indeed commonly reported during treatment, and connecting with others who've navigated similar experiences can provide valuable perspective during this waiting period.

Welcome to the group. What stage are you? Im 48 and I was diagnosed with the same as you back in October 2025 stage3. Just finished my last round of r-chop this week. I have my PET scan March 9th. I had one at beginning of January and I only had 1 small spot remaining on my adrenal gland so my response to treatment has been very good so far. I take additional supplements as well and one of which is a liver support. The goal is to get to 2yrs in remission then 5yrs remission. Its a long journey no doubt. Your diet Will play a large role as well with all this. People should start chiming in with their stories as well here shortly. Stay positive and good luck!

Hello Jeff, I was diagnosed stage 3 back in October as well. My last PET scan was at the end of December and was almost clear as well. What supplements do you take if you don't mind my asking?
