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.

My memory since chemo is getting worse. If I don't do something I forget. If I pick something up to take it somewhere, get distracted, put it down I forget where and even what I was planning to do. I'm wondering if others have this experience.
As a certified hospital chaplain I have spent a lot of time talking to chemo patients. On days that I received my own chemo treatments it was common to talk to chemo patients for hours at at time… read more

I was just diagnosed a week ago and don't meet with my doctor to discuss next steps until after the new year. He mentioned possibly doing "watch and wait" method and I've read a lot that backs that up, which really surprises me. Why would you wait until things got worse to pursue any type of treatment?
