Hi ashworth4444

So sorry to hear it came back Sad There is a chance it may shrink hence the repeat scan. I assume you had R CHOP last time would this be correct ?? They may zap it with radiation or you might get DHAP with autologus stem cell therapy and there may be another regime that is popular where you live. If it does shrink they may leave it. That is assuming you have NHL and not HL.

I can only imagine how bad you feel as this is a fear that we all have. I hope your next scan will be a good one, please post back with your progress.

Cheers and good luck.
