Hi. I'm new here, my names Laura.
I have just been diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I'm only 21 and was wondering if anyone had any stories of younger people with this type? I'm not sure what stage it is at yet.
I start R CHOP 21 treatment on Thursday.

Thank you xx

Hi

You will do fine. people your age respond really well to the treatment and cure rates are over 90%. Don't worry it will be over before you know it. Notice I wrote cure Exclamation Its a word that doctors will say when it comes to DLBCL, my Hematologist told me during my treatment "we are very good at curing this now" and he is a very conservative doctor.

keep posting Smile

Good luck
