A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Austin, TX

My husband had a very positive PET scan following 2 cycles of chemo. When he discussed his results with his hematologist, she recommended radiation therapy following chemo. This is the first we heard of this and are still trying to gathering information and trying to determine if he really wants to do this.
