Waiting for PET scan results after R-CHOP - how long until remission news?

Waiting for scan results can feel like the longest time, and it's completely natural to feel anxious during this period. Most doctors typically schedule follow-up appointments within 1-2 weeks after a PET scan to discuss results, though timing can vary depending on the facility and your care team's schedule. The positive news is that you've completed your full course of treatment, which is a significant milestone worth celebrating. Wishing you strength while you wait, and hoping other community members here can share their experiences with post-treatment scans to help you feel less alone during this time.

I totally agree - that waiting period after scans is absolutely nerve-wracking, and you might also want to ask your care team if they can give you a heads up on timing so you're not constantly wondering when the call will come. 🤞💚

Prayers I get my PTscan on Friday 1/23

Good luck ladies I too have DLBCL I had 6 rounds of RChop chemo, it was a grind but it works as I’m in remission as of Nov 3rd. Stay positive reach out to family and friends and stay engaged. This is as much mental as physical! I wish you all the best with your pet scan results , Tim

Praying for you!

I was diagnosed in may of 2024 and did 7-8 months of chemo/R-CHOp with same cancer and now in remission with no cancer showing after going almost blind in right eye with tumor in brain on optic nerve and other tumors throughout body. A miracle!!! Good luck and prayers!
