Hi
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
Hi Fred,
Not the news that you wanted but far better to be safe than sorry. With any luck the PET scan will reveal that it is just scar tissue and nothing to worry about.
However if not, as you say the treatment seems to have killed most of it which is a positive. With any luck they can just zap the remaining bits quickly.
When are you having the PET scan? Hopefully soon.
Peter,
Sorry to hear that your doctor was dismissive - makes things a lot harder. Hopefully your next appointment will be smoother.
Hang on in there both of you.

Hi Fred,
Mine was a PET/CT scan last Tuesday but not expecting results for about another week. Just keeping my fingers crossed 
Hope that they get you booked in soon and the results are clearer.
Take care and hang on in there.
Nicky
