Hi @crickettrapp,

Thank you for sharing your experience with a longer remission before relapse and your treatments received after this. I too have had my eye on the 24 month remission window as a significant milestone and your experience certainly brings a new perspective for this expectation.

I appreciate as well you sharing the next treatments you have received after relapse and prior to transplant. I know my hematologist has mentioned the possibility of autologous transplant (provided my stem cells are adequate for collection) or CAR-T if I do relapse.

I forgot to mention that the autologous transplant was supposed to be part of my initial treatment only because of the CNS system involvement with the brain tumors. Apparently there is a higher chance of relapse. Just adding here for future reference for other members since DLBCL treatment (with no CNS involvement) doesn’t include transplant initially in most cases.

Sending you my best wishes for great success with your transplant. Please take care and keep us posted. I will be looking forward to hearing of your recovery and lasting remission!

Yes! My first staging was a 2. I had RCHOP. Remission of 26 months.
Relapse in February, still a stage 2 but an Autogolous Stem Cell Transplant.
My cancer has stayed above the diaphragm each time.
