Any low grade Lymphoma survivor? which transformed into high grade and chemo was given and disappeared?

I had an aggressive form of Lymphoma. I had diffuse large B cell NHL, stage IIe. I had 6 rounds of CHOP with Rituxan, and radiation. That seems to have done the trick so far. [3 years!]


Best wishes

Any low grade Lymphoma survivor? which transformed into high grade and chemo was given and disappeared?
Transformed low-grade lymphoma (into a higher grade) can be put back in remission, though it is tougher to do and the risk for relapse remains higher compared to patients with de novo high grade lymphoma. The treatment for the high grade disease can possibly cure it, though we do not expect it to cure the low grade component-- it will treat the low grade component well though. Patients with transformed lymphoma may be candidates for high-dose therapy and stem cell transplant depending on many factors, including age and health.





God bless, best wishes
