Iam new here. I have Aggressive DLBCL. Iam getting ready to go to my 6th chemo. They told me i have small ones left. If this chemo on the 28th doesnt work, they are stopping treatment. Then they told me it will be a sit and wait. My wifes name is Deb. Sometimes she will be here or I will. Depends on how sick iam from the chemo. #5 put me in hospital for a week. I had a couple of infections because count was too low. You never relize how bad cancer is untill it hits close to home. Confused

Hi Tom,

Welcome to you and your wife! I hope you find the support and information you need to fight the beast on these forums.

I'd suggest dropping down to the specific category and posting your info so they can get to know you. Sounds like you've already been through a lot and I'm sorry. Fight on and hold hope in your heart!

God bless,
PBJ

Hi Tom

Sorry to find you at this place. Dont fret too much, your chances of getting over this are good, we have people on this board who are in remission from stage 4. I will ask an admin to move this to the lymphoma forum and you can meet us all. You can, if you have the energy, post your story in a new thread on the lymphoma forum, we would really like to hear it and it will help us in giving you some support.

Hope to hear again from you soon
