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 read that this condition is rare but I have a biopsy for breast cancer coming up and I also have non hodgkin lymphoma. I am wondering if you can have both at the same time!

Yes. But mine was just a lymphoma node in my breast
Maybe depends on the type or we just unlucky to breath something in the air.
I don’t know yet. But after my recent investigation it was very fast that they wanted to see me again. With my other cancer (brain tumour) I get to see my oncologist on the same day after the MRI. I… read more
I was diagnosed with benign lymphoma in 2020. Have it on my left cheek, can fell it when i run my fingers on it. It hasn't changed in size since the diagnosis. The doctors had not prescribed any medication back in 2020. They told me that it'll heal as time passes but it hasn't. I don't feel any pain in my cheeks. The only symptom i have is sudden variations in my body weight. So i just wanted to know if any of you have or had it and it would be great if i hear it out from you regarding the diet… read more
Reading thru the Q&A , I am surprised that no one responded to your question. To be honest I have never seen a dx of Benign Lymphoma. Wonder if they used the benign inter-changably with indolent… read more
Praying you find a donor soon. 🙏🏼
At this point, I’ve decided not to start treatment
I have lost two friends in the last year to other types of cancer
They both went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
They continued telling me that the chemotherapy had caused many uncomfortable side effects and weren’t sure whether it was causing more painful issues than it was worth.
They both have passed in the last three months.
They both expressed to me that their quality of life, and getting some extra months, wasn’t really… 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?
For some types of blood cancer there's no evidence that early treatment, when you have no symptoms, improves outcomes. Instead, doctors recommend saving treatment for later, when it will have the best… read more
I was diagnosed with Follicular Non Hudgkin's Lymphoma last year in November. Had 4 Month Chemo with Bendeka. Now in remission, and was recommended to do a 2 year maintenance treatment with [[treatment:Rituxan Hycela:5c648bd265df61506ecba9a7]]. Anybody else has the same treatment? Is it standard to do it after chemo? What are the long term side effects? I feel fine, but still worry about this
Anybody completed the 2 year? Was any recurrence of the cancer shortly after finishing treatment.… read more
I tried the maintenance once and mine recurred while on it. I do much better just getting a round of rituxan when it recurs.
