Non Hodgkin's lymphoma

Hello @milanp

How is your daughter feeling now that she has finished 6 chemo treatments? Will her doctor be following on her progress in the near future.

I hope to hear from you again.

I hope she will do well. NHL is highably treatable.

I finished chemo in March for NFL. Just recently I found a large lymph node along my jaw line. Biopsy shows it the same form of NFL which is good. Doctor is recommending raidation.wjat side effects should be expected?

Hi, jjohnson8747. I wish I had info about your treatment, but I was treated with R-CHOP only. I'm sorry that nasty node appeared at the jawline and hope they zap it for you. Good luck and sock it to 'em. gp

@jjohnson8747 So sorry you need added treatments for your NFL. It does sometimes take a combination of both Chemo and Radiation together to rid the disease. Radiation can effect each person differently. Some do not have any side effects and others do. It is hard to say if you would experience anything at all. Here is a link to Mayo clinic's site that talks about Radiation therapy and the side effects of radiation.

I wish you the best.

I had radiation on my neck. I didn't have any side effects at all.

Thank you

@jjohnson8747, I am sorry to hear that your NHL has come back. If you don't mind sharing, what was your experience with chemotherapy? I am not a medical professional, but it is my understanding that radiation differs from therapy in that it is more focused and is meant to only affect the part of the body that has cancer. Does this sound like the treatment you are going to have?

just had my yearly check up. C T scan this time. No detectable cancer. Will go back in a year.

@ vonbaron36 thats wonderful. My yearly ct scans for lymphoma are coming soon too.. I am hoping for the same.. 🙂
