I am 58yo and do not have any immunocompromising diagnosis. I am in the process of testing to determine the stage. I am not finding any documentation that represents my situation. I was wondering if there’s anyone else that has this diagnosis and what was your treatment plan. At this point I’m scheduled in the next plus to start R CHOP. But have had some advice to get a second opinion and go where I could be in clinical trials. I’m just very overwhelmed and not sure what to do.
TheresaSchliff,
Hi! I too have/had DLBCL stage IV. I had treatments of RCHOP chemo. I've been in remission for 3 1/2years. I had T cell rich subtype. But as a teenager I had mono really bad and was in the hospital for a week. I believe these could be linked? I know it is overwhelming. I totally understand! However, a diagnosis is your first step to healing. Good luck on your decision. Kelly
MarshaWiner,

Hi Kelly,
Had a rough couple of days, Have a skin infection on abdomen which is also swelled. Had an anti- biotic that gave me severe diarrhea. No appetite. night sweats are drenching. I have 2 weeks until next round. Hopefully I will feel better!
It sounds like you're navigating a challenging diagnosis, and it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including Epstein-Barr virus-associated cases, is often treated with R-CHOP, a standard chemoimmunotherapy regimen. R-CHOP has shown success in curing about 60% of DLBCL cases Show Full Answer
