UPDATE - Barb N. CLL / transformed to DLBCL

[Guest guest]

Have just finished my 4th CHOP+R. Thought I might

get by with 4, but doc says I will have to take the full 6.

Doing well – still taking Neulastra to keep white

count up.- it crashes every time. He cut some of the drugs back, so that has

helped some. Had 1st CT

scan, and shows nodes are shinking some. He is say I am going to be a problem

to him, for after the CHOP is over, what nodes I have left may be from CLL,

and we’ll just have to watch closely. He is not recommending any

radiation, and

I feel that it would be a good thing, especially in the one

area that the DLBCL was. I have read on many sites

and it seems that radiation is done often in this kind of

situation. Comments are welcome.
