DLBCL with double expressors

Hi and welcome to the Macmillan Community and I take it that you are in the USA.

I had a different type of NHL and a rather different type of treatment journey but lets look for some of the group members to come along with their experiences as these treatments are used a lot, or variations of these.

You can use the main site search tool near the top to have a look at Venetoclax as it is used across various blood cancers and treatments.

Hi, Sloan has some good haematologists have you met with your consultant there yet? as this would be a good question to ask and to discuss, to see what the trial criteria are and are you eligible, that's the first step. Then discuss how long decisions are taken re who is in and who is not, what might that and any delay in treatment mean against what the benefits may be. Also ask are the other options to put to your insurance company assuming they are paying and it as your in the US.

this brief post from Australia may help you with your discussions re treatment

If it were me then I would want to understand what the expressers were indicating and anything unique to me in the histology results and what's a good hard combination to treat it as some of the doctors who have presented their thoughts on treatment tend to infer hit it hard, as hard as you can. 

hope this helps
