DeborahroughtonSimpson,
Hi! I too have/had DLBCL stage IV. I'm sorry your scan didn't come out as you had hoped. There are so many treatments/procedures now that can help us. I hope you receive some answers soon from your Dr in regards to your continued journey. Sending a hug and prayers. Kelly

I'm sorry to hear about your PET scan results. If R-CHOP treatment hasn't fully worked and active lymphoma remains, your oncologist may consider other options. For relapsed or refractory DLBCL, treatments could include salvage chemotherapy (like R-EPOCH), targeted therapies, or stem cell transplantation if you're eligible Show Full Answer

I'm sorry to hear about your PET scan results. If R-CHOP treatment hasn't fully worked and active lymphoma remains, your oncologist may consider other options. For relapsed or refractory DLBCL, treatments could include salvage chemotherapy (like R-EPOCH), targeted therapies, or stem cell transplantation if you're eligible. Given your age and health, less intensive options like Pola-R-CHP or clinical trials might also be considered. Discuss these possibilities with your doctor.
