MuthuswamyChandrashekar,
I had 6 treatments, one every 3 weeks. The first week was a bit rough . Second and third week better, then had to have another treatment. Made sure I stayed hydrated all the time. Drank lots of water even through the infusion. The infusion nurses are angels in disguise and are a wealth of information. I also tried to eat protein for my blood I was told. I didn't have Etoposide. I had RCHOP only. I of course lost my hair but it will come back. When I lost my hair I figured the chemo was working killing the cancer. But everyone is different in how rchop effects them. I've been in remission for 4 yrs. God and RCHOP saved my life. I'm here for you if you have any other questions. I hope you are having a relaxing day. Kelly
MuthuswamyChandrashekhar,
Hi and welcome to the site. Everyone on here is so nice, helpful and supportive. I too have/had DLBCL stage IV and T cell rich too. You're the first one that I've met with the exact same diagnosis. I had 6 treatments of RCHOP chemo. I've been in remission for 4 yrs. If you have any questions for me please do not hesitate to ask. Kelly
Thank You Kelly....how was your journey during R-CHOP treatment ? Was Etoposide given along with R-CHOP ?
The standard first-line treatment for Stage IV B-cell lymphoma typically involves R-CHOP, which combines rituximab (Rituxan) with a chemotherapy regimen including cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone. This combination therapy has shown significant effectiveness in treating aggressive B-cell lymphomas Show Full Answer
