It sounds like you're asking about what happened after your 6th cycle of R-CHOP, though your message got cut off. Let me share some helpful information about R-CHOP treatment for DLBCL.

R-CHOP is typically given for 6 cycles, with each cycle lasting 21 days. It's encouraging that your PET/CT showed tumor reduction after 4 cycles - this is a positive sign that the treatment is working.

Here's what typically happens with R-CHOP treatment:

* About 75% of people with DLBCL achieve complete remission after the full R-CHOP regimen
* Around 60-70% of people respond well, with cancer cells completely going away
* The majority of those who reach complete remission stay in remission long-term

If you're experiencing concerns about your response after completing all 6 cycles, it's important to discuss the results with your oncologist. They can explain:

* Whether you achieved complete or partial remission
* What your next steps should be
* If any additional treatment is needed

Could you share more about what happened after your 6th cycle? This will help provide more specific guidance for your situation.
