Hi, my name is Char, and I survived NHL.
[LOL, that was an AA imitation]

I have/had diffuse large B-cell NHL.
CHOP x 6 w/weekly rituxan
Rad x 18

I'm almost 2 years out from treatment. I always worry it will come back. It came out of the blue the first time.

I love walking in the Relay for Life, it's the greatest.

Best wishes to you!
Email me if you want.

people survive this all the time.agressivetreatment followed by PET/CT scans to make sure the cancer does not come back.
Oftentimes people will have a PET/CT scan every 6 months to make sure there is no cancer.

Also the scan can be done to evaluate the extinct of disease. It is far more accurate than CT.
