Update after 6th RCHOP for follicular NHL

[Russ70]

Hi,

I had my PET scan last week after my 6th cycle of RCHOP. It came back clear with not activity, so I'm officially in now in remission! Have to get a shot of Rituximab in belly every 3 months for 2 years. This is for maintenance to make sure it doesn't come back. A 15 minute jab.

Chemo is a feared word, but it works.

So happy for you. What stage were you?

[Russ70 in reply to BLP1211]

I was stage 4 apparently, but my doctor has always said the stage number isn't the driving factor, it's the grade. I had follicular, which is low grade. Thank you

Ok. Stage 4. Thanking God for your remission.
