My friend has just been diagnosed with high grade non hodgkin lymphoma with tumours on his pancreas.
He is starting a chemotherapy called r - chop and I want to know what we can expect and how best I can support him
Hi Khrys15 I am Mike and I help out around our various Lymphoma groups. I don’t normally post in this group but just came across your post this morning.
Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) in not Pancreatic Cancer…. NHL is a cancer of the blood so the NHL can appear ‘anywhere’ in the body including the pancreas.
R-CHOP would not be used for treating Pancreatic Cancer but is widely used in the treatment of NHL.
Could I suggest you join and post in our general Non-Hodgkin lymphoma group or if it’s specifically Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma he has (the most common type) post in that group.and we can help you more.
