Glad to hear that your husband is seeing good results with his treatment and already feeling some relief. I was also given a magic mouthwash to use while in the hospital for the first Matrix treatment. It was helpful in numbing the pain thru those first weeks so hopefully your husband will get some relief using that while the mouth sores heal. Take care of you both and best wishes for continued healing.

I'm rooting for your husband, even though I don't know him.

I was diagnosed with DLBCL NHL in September 2021. It was in my stomach lining, and the weight loss was drastic — over 20 pounds in 2.5 months. However, once I found the right team, I started to gain weight even before I started treatment.

I underwent six rounds of R-CHOP--3-week intervals. After the 3rd chemo treatment, my PET scan showed no traces of the rogue cells. I tolerated chemotherapy well and continued to walk and exercise throughout the 18-week treatment.

I found it essential to have something to look forward to. So, I decided to learn photography, which I incorporated into my walks. I set a goal to start traveling to vegan-friendly places where I could walk after I was cleared to travel. In October 2022, 7 months after my last chemo treatment, I traveled to Amsterdam and Switzerland and ate my way through my trip. It was glorious.

I find that my mindset plays a big role in my recovery.
