RCHOP
Google it- it is usually for patients who have not responded to or had recurrence with prior treatment; Me, personally- I wouldn’t try it, but, I am not a doctor…..so, it’s just my personal opinion…
June 2019 i was diagnosed with primary cns lymphoma.
This year in march i had an ovary removed. They found diffuse large b cell lymphoma. My oncologist wants to put me on the r-CHOP regimen with stem cell transplant to follow as maintainance therapy.

I have lost two friends in the last year to other types of cancer
They both went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Thank you
I’m newly diagnosed with Lymphoma…I was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in September 2023. I’m on chemo for this. My docs seem to be ignoring the lymphoms
I am still being followed from my Car T-Cell therapy that was done last spring,
