Biopsy to confirm if transformed

Hi again, there have been a number of folks on the group who have had transformed FL into an aggressive type like DLBCL and normally requires some strong treatment but tends to respond well to treatment.

Nothing you am do you nail the results are all in.

Thank you, I have been mentally preparing myself for the worst case scenario, going over and over telling my family, being strong and positive whist around them will hopefully be good for me.

I have questions and thoughts though that I keep to myself, can’t say out loud until results are in.

hope you are well

It’s a hard time not having the answers to the ‘What now and what next?’

i am doing well thank you.

Hi Maggie, it sounds like that plan will be in place soon and the questions you need to ask are the standard ones, the is a leaflet on this site and others giving you the types of questions to ask so you understand if that's what helps rather than just being told this is what we plan to do. As some people are happy to go with whatever is said and others need to know and understand, I was in the later group, what's important is what's right for you.

The standard treatment which has been used for many years now is rchop as its still seen as the big guns for FNHL even though the are newer variations out there. 

If it helps ask some questions or share your thoughts, the only caution is this is an open public site so family could read them to if that is a concern at present. You can also call the helpline and talk things through if that's a more suitable route at this stage.

take care

john

My concern is that I have been in a bubble of normality and this may about to be burst. I could cope with watch and wait, felt I was lucky. I am single and independent, still want to shield my adult children from what may lie ahead.

I will look for the leaflet 

thank you and happy new year 

Stay strong and believe God bless us all on these  websites take care stay safe  x all  the best  for the future carl aka clecker
