Have been diagnosed and starting treatment after Boxing Day they are using R-CHOP treatment my cancer is in my stomach and spread to the chest they tell me that is quite common with this form of F Lymphoma

They tell me my first chemo session will last between 6 and 7 hrs and I will be stopping in hospital for at least overnight then I will have Chemo as an outpatient in three 3 week cycles

Just wondered if anyone can give me an idea of what to expect I know the hair loss etc just wondered how I will be feeling in the days after treatment

Any useful information for me and my wife we would be grateful

that's a good update and no doubt a relief, keep enjoying everyday

we all know this is a roller coaster ride, where we ride blind, never knowing where the highs and lows are

Happy Easter!

Thanks all,have a great easter don't eat too many chocolate eggs!!!

Hope your all doing well on this journey

Yes Cecren the radiographer was excellent think maybe she knows how stressful waiting for results is

Thank God for the NHS and government need to recognise what a tremendous job all the staff do especially in these trying times

Scotland seemed to have recognised this so come on England follow suit!!

I have had a few great radiographers who have said it as they saw it..... very helpful.

Yes the Scottish Government are upping their game.... but the elections are a month away

Have a great weekend.
